This is a faint hope, since normally 2 prong plugs and sockets are all polarized these days, but is it possible to reverse the 2-prong plug ? If you can reverse it, that might help.

Now the dumb question -- have you hooked up a good audio source to validate how far you are turning up the gain controls ? I remember once worrying about hum with nothing connected until I realized that the volume settings I was using would have played a real audio signal at about three billion dB
