Do you know that you can reverse the headphone connection like that? Most machines can't. Sound comes out of that connection, not in. You'll need to reach around to the actual Stereo Line-In (if you have one) or opt for a stereo USB adapter. Neither of these analog connections will work with the mix...

You posted in the Audacity 1.3 forum. Are you using Audacity 1.2? Audacity 1.2 defaulted to recording in Mono. Check or change in Audacity Preferences.

Exactly what doesn't work? You can't talk or hear? Both?

Koz

Like this except you have four or more blue wiggly lines in the show instead of just two?

Have you saved the project already or have you not turned the computer off yet?
