Is there a reason that the audio output level coming from the speaker and
from the line out jack don't agree with each other on this thing? I also
wondered why is the line out jack amplified to begin with.

I have to turn this thing up blastingly loud to get any recordable sound
from the line out jack. The only remedy I know of is to record via the
external speaker jack with a Y-connector plugged into it and my recording
device and speaker/headset plugged into the branches. Quite convoluted I
might say.
