  Aha, we have the culprit.  That is, if you have a Perfect Sound 3.0 or
higher.  PS3's method of digital gain control (ie, software) is all very
nice, but it left third-party software developers rather cold, since at
least at first Sunrize didn't bother to tell anyone how to do it, and at
any rate for free/shareware products is a needless hassle.  Very bad move
on Sunrize's part, IMHO.  You're doing right; the only real solution (short
of finding another sampler, or finding an older model Perfect Sound with a
nice simple knob for gain =) is to use their software; a pity.

   Yes, MED's editor is rather nicer than the PS one, isn't it?
