One never matches impedances in ordinary home audio. Even speaker output for XXX-ohm speakers has a much lower source impedance. Low level (line level) outputs are generally under ten-thousand ohms and inputs are greater than one hundred thousand - so they don't load the driving source.

Signal amplitude incompatibility seems more likely. Audio "line level" in home kit is usually in the one-volt range, sometime half that.
