It shouldn't. The guitar should give you plenty of volume.

Is the line in muted in the "playback" options of your sound card's mixer? If it is not muted, you should be able to hear the guitar through the speakers. If you don't hear the guitar at this point then the problem is not in Audacity.

Try unplugging and pluging in the guitar cable into the sound card a few times. If you don't hear any noises from unplugging/plugging in the cable then the problem is not the guitar, and it has to be in the sound card's mixer settings.
