Two files, one recorded via Audacity, one via Freecorder. Freecorder saved the file as mp3. I brought it into Audacity to trim it down to size and saved as a 16-bit PCM wav file. The Audacity recording was also trimmed and saved as a 16-bit PCM wav file.

Yes, meters move on both record and playback. Yes, I've tried both good speakers and good headphones. Anything recorded with Audacity is "flat". Anything recorded with freecorder (using the Aldian codec or whatever it is called) is terrific. I'm baffled by it. Is it ok to post samples? I can whip so...

Audacity shows "stereo mix" but when I try that, all I get is static/noise.

Looks like I'll have to go find my soldering-iron and a few parts.

I have an HP 8510W. It has a line-out and a stereo mic in. No line-in. I would like to try recording from the line-out directly into the mic. I know enough about audio to know I need something to cut the signal so the mic input can handle it. But I don't know what it is called. This is just an exper...
