I got the Audacity on my Computer. Now I have the MAYPOTT Cassette Converter. How can I put a old Cassette that is from my Grandmother in the Cassette Converter and send it to the Computer so I can Listen to it? The Audacity is already installed on my Computer, and when I try to play the Cassette nothing happened.? Please help.
Can you hear anything out of the cassette player’s speaker or headphones? If the analog isn’t working the digital won’t work either.
If it seems like it’s working, make sure to select the USB device as your Recording Device (Don’t select anything that says “loopback”).
Check the recording volume slider which is “hidden” under the recording meters (the microphone icon), and the playback volume is under the playback meters (speaker icon).
If you want to hear what’s being recorded from the computer speakers, select your regular soundcard as the playback device and enable Audible Input Monitoring

I think the main question is how to connect the cassette player to the computer. This depends very much on the capabilities of that player - of which I have no knowledge.
There are some players with a slot for an SD-card. These players can save the contents of the cassette to the card - and afterwards you put that card in a cardreader to edit the sound on your computer.
There are some players with an USB connector. These can (in most cases) connect directly to your computer and they should be recognized as an USB sound device. But in some cases, the USB connection does not deliver sound but is for charging the player’s batteries only.
There are players which have nothing of the above. Then you need to use an “external USB sound card” which is connected to the phones connector of the player and the USB socket of the computer. Behringer UCA-202 is an often recommended device here.
So if you tell us what the player cand do, and what computer (operating system, etc.) you are using, you’ll get better answers here.
