Audacity Forum

I have tried to get line in from cassette deck to Audacity 1.3 Beta
I have Windows Vista on a Toshiba Laptop and have tried to use other help on this forum but nothing works

Most laptops don't have a line-in... just a mic-in, which is not suitable for line level signals...

Read your laptop's manual see if it has a line-in socket.

Otherwise you'll need an external usb converter. Something like this: http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/UCA202.jpg

The small device in the pic between the tape deck and the laptop is a Behringer UCA-202.
