David,

I think you should check the jumpers in the SignaLink.  Also make 
certain the level controls for the SL soundcard are set correctly in the 
computer.
Or simply use another USB soundcard - the K33 has built-in isolation 
transformers.

Set the K3 LIN OUT level to about 10.

You apparently have a problem, but it may not be in the K3.  Plug 
amplified computer speakers into the K3 LINE OUT jack as a test.  You 
should hear the sounds.

73,
