Re: Line-in ????

Everyone always ask for us to put in as much info as possible so here it is.
:)

The recorded is an old style cassettee tape recorder so I don't think it's
the plug, unless I need a stereo for the sound card end, but I dont't hink
that's the main problem.

I have noticed that when I go to Control Panel-Sound & Audio Devices-Audio
tab, the"recording device" is set for the Realtek ac97 but the advanced
button is greyed out. In fact, all devices point to the Realtek except Midi
Playback.

When I click on the volume icon in Taskbar and pull up the Volume
Control-Options-Properties-the mixer device is set for "realtek ac97 Audio".
I click on Adjust Volume For-Recording and select Line In, Mic and click OK
the Recording Control pops up with Line In and Mic but I cannot select
anything. Click on either and nothing happens.
Even though I cannot select either the mic works fine.

Could that be the problem and if so, how to fix?


Side notes.

When I open Sound Recorded(CP-Programs-Access.-Entertainment-Sound Recorder)
it picks up the Mic but nothing else.

I also have on my CP "Sound Effect Manager". When I open that the screen
that comes up is labeled "AC97 Audio Configuration". I click on tab labeled
"jack sensing" it shows the three connectors, Line Out Connector(green),
Line In connector(blue) and Mic In connector(pink) BUT under that are big ?
marks showing in "connected device" with 'UNKNOWN' in the box and the Manual
Selection tab greyed out.

If you're using a mono plug to plug it into a stereo (headphones) output
jack, it won't work.
You need a stereo to mono cord, or cords, to accomplish this.
The stereo output (headphones) jack has 3 contact points(right, left &
common ground) & you're trying to plug it into a mic(input) jack that only
has 2 contact points(mono).
Now if you had an old style cassette player that used an earphone jack
(mono), & not a headphones (stereo) jack,then you would not have any
problems connecting it to a (mono) mic input jack.
I know this is a bit confusing, but I hope that it helps clear up the
problems that you're running into.

Can't "select" either.
I delected everything under "adjust volume for"- recording except Mic and
Line In but I can't select either in Recording Control.

Trying to hook up a audio recorder to my winxp system.
Have several interviews on tape with folks we'd like to digitize.
Purchased a audio cable(1/8" to 1/8" mono phone plug), plugged into
cassette
recorder(earphones) and into line-in on sound card(onboard realtek
AC97).
Can not get any sound, tried plugging into Mic on sound card, still no
go
even though mic works fine.
When I open Sound Recorder, the only thing it records is the mic. If I
unplug/mute mic nothing is recorded.

any suggestion on fix or where else to look?

thanks,

Oprn the Volume Controls
Select "Advanced" settings
Click on Options --> Properties
In "Adjust Volume for" check on 'Line-in" and "mic."

It seems that the "default" settings do not enable the Line-In and mic
settings.
