Meenkashi,

I think I am running into a similar issue as you in the AIC23 codec, although I am using the C6713. There is indeed an AC coupling cap between the line in and codec (if the audio port is of similar structure to the 6713). This will prevent any DC signal from passing through. However, I have tried bypassing (short circuiting) the cap and AC coupling-esqe effects still appear when I measure the input in software.

The AIC23 line-in does have an ADC highpass filter which can be enabled in the Digital Audio Path Control, but mine is disabled as far as I can tell.
