I have to use the windows volume mixer in order for it to work and I already adjusted everything in there what I do is go to the volume>options>properties>select recording>click ok>then select "line in" and that's it

This has already been done I can hear my beat but the quality is bad and the sound is low even with my speakers turned all the way up

More than likely it will. IMO, you have too much working against you to try and achieve a good sound without having to use the gear that'll help you get there.

Budget or consumer based audio cards and the accessories that go along with them (wiring/cables) greatly differ in their purpose for what they're intended for.

Trust me, if you could A/B your setup against another computer of the same but with a good dedicated audio card, you'll hear the difference.
