When set to LINE input the camera has fixed gain to support maximum +24 dBu.
So no LINE volume level you can change in camera, it is locked at 50%.
Adjust the output level of your audio LINE source accordingly.

What are you trying to feed into the audio inputs of the camera?

Thank for your reply. I enter from the out of rode wireless go attached to a rode lavalier. I've to reach usable volume ones in davinci gaining the audio track at the +26 db and than apply a compressor gain in fairlight. That is the only one solution.
Correct?

Then you should set your input to MIC levels, not LINE levels - those are meant for the output from mixing consoles and audio mixers.
