These colours aren’t really standardized. Could be the pink socket is for center and sub. And when you play back music, there’s no signal on center and sub.
there are 3 sockets in a line and 3 sockets underneath
I think the pink top right is audio in
the green top middle is audio out .
my cable has a plug each end that fit the sockets at the back of most
dvd recorders… sat boxes etc so Ive had to put adaptors on to fit the sockets on the comp
and on the music centre. maybe thats causing a prob ?
Pink is usually for a microphone, or more specifically for a “pc microphone”.
What you want is “line in” which should be the blue one, but Cyrano says the colors are not well standardized. I’d recommend trying to find a “quick start guide” for your particular sound card and/or computer.
Second step is to make sure that you get the “line input” selected in the sound control panel settings. These tend to vary wildly depending on what you have so it is hard to give more accurate direction.
theres a frame to the right with green bars moving up and down
I turn up the vol on my Pioneer music centre and the green lines climb a little higher so
that proves the signal is getting into my desktop ;…
problem is that theres no sign of a signal on audacity … and Im not getting any sound in my computor speakers
is there some setting I should change in audacity
to get the signal in ?
I went to sound
then recording
hit… microphone … and … microphone properties… came up
then hit… listen … and saw box " listen to this device " so ticked that
