Re: Line-in ????

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.
