Re: Recording sound

Dear Creator

I am not using a sub-woofer, my loudspeakers are plugged directly into back
of my computer. I have the three sockets at the back of my computer: line
in; line out; microphone. I connect the tape machine from the "phones"
socket to the "line-in" on my computer using a one-eighths mini-jack. I've
also tried the "microphone" socket. I have tried two different cables and
two tape machines - neither work on my desktop but both work on my laptop. I
would be content just to record in mono for the time being! If I need to
replace my sound card, could you advise me on what to replace it with? At
present, according to my system information, there is a "Yamaha Native
[and/or Legacy] DSI WDM driver" Many thanks, Caroline

Hi Caroline,

Please also report back on the Speakers attached to the Desktop
Computer. Are you using a Sub-woofer? And speakers are plugged into the
Sub-Woofer and the Sub-Woofer in turn has 3 wires, which are plugged into
the computer using Line-Out, Line-In and Microphone Jacks. And with newer
Tower Computer Cases, there are Line-Out and Microphone Jacks in the Front
of the Case.

Not all users have the same setup. So you need to find out about the
Desktop you are using. In order to do what you are trying to do with your
Desktop Computer, you might have to replace your Desktop Computer's Sound
Card, in order to allow you to convert your tapes to CDs. And you will need
a Special Type of Cable to hook between the Tape Deck and digitalizer then
into the Computer and out thru the Speakers. Special Type of Cable = Audio
Stereo Cable. Especially if you are copying Stereo Tapes.

Dear Creator

Yes I get perfect sound when the operating system boots up or when I play
any existing sound file or CD. I just cannot record sound into the
computer.
I am not sure I am up to date with Windows updates as in the past they
have
caused serious problems in my computer. I will have to find out about
Voice
conversations, I have never tried this. I will find out about my type of
sound card and will get back to you. Many thanks, Caroline

Hi Caroline,

Are you getting sound from the Windows operating system as it boots
up
and shuts down? Are all the Windows Updates to the operating system
applied?
Can you have a Voice Conversation over the Internet using the Desktop?

Does the Desktop have an added Sound Card or are you using a Sound
Chip
built into the Motherboard?

I am running Windows XP Professional on a desktop pc. I want to
transfer
tapes on to CDs using Digitalizer. I have succeeded in doing this on
my
laptop running Windows XP home edition and digitalizer, but cannot make
it
work on the desktop. I have checked all the settings in Windows and
Digitalizer and they are the same. I can hear sound coming from the pc
if
I
play a sound file or a CD, so the sound card appears to be working, but
I
cannot hear anything through headphones coming from the tape machine.
I
also
cannot make the microphone work on the desktop pc. Any suggestions?
