Several years ago I purchased a Super USB Cassette Capture device and started using Audacity 3.13 to transfer old live cassettes.
I hadn’t used it since last year, and this summer my laptop died and I had to upgrade to a new one using Windows 11.
I recently tried hooking it back up and using it again and have had zero luck.
If i try recording in the normal recommended settings, it crashes and I see
“-9999 Unanticipated host error”
A lot of people have trouble with those “cheap little USB cassette players”.
Have you tried a different USB cable?
If the headphone output on the cassette player works and you have a computer with a regular soundcard you can record into the soundcard’s line input.
If you have a laptop with no line-in you can use a USB audio interface with line inputs, such as the Behringer UCA202. Don’t get a regular “USB Soundcard” because they are like laptops with only mic-in and headphone out.
A line-input works with line-out and it will also work with headphone-out. Of course, you need the correct adapter cables for whatever you use.
I can see the number of complaints here, youre right. I guess I was surprised because the Super USB CC worked perfectly from 2021-2023, and now it doesnt.
I am not sure if I have another compatible USB cable but if I find one I will try that.
That Behringer is inexpensive enough, seems like a solution. So people have tried that and it worked, plugging the SUCC into the Behringer which then hooks into the laptop?
