honestly best thing to do buy something like a focusrite scarlet, allows xlr or jack input has an input gain control and im guessing will do a better job of getting the bass to a daw than your inbuilt soundcard.
however if your using a di straight in id look at something with some sort of speaker sim so maybe the two notes le bass, as for me a di straight sounds pretty nasty even on a clean sound, as a straight di box you cant go wrong with anything by radial, there passive stage bug is what i use for sending my sampler to the foh, its tiny but has a ground lift and a input pad. as well as a thru 1/4" jack so it can sit in the effects chain.
