noisy

Yes, that is the unit I am using. I do have a cassette player at home but, the person I'm trying to copy her cassettes to CDs has several albums to copy too. I cannotlocate them to test how they record but my guess is it will be just as bad.
I don't see that the USB is recognized since it isn't saying anything about using that port when anything is installed. I also use a mouse on this and it never bleeps it is there. It works tho.

What would having a stand alone cassette player do? Bypass the Victoria III and go right to the PC? I've never tried that but who knows?

I switched ports and it now shows a USB port and I changed the level to 10 from 100! IT WORKS!!!!!! Not the best tone but my goodness way better than it was. If I reduce it again I think that will fix it.

Thanks for ALL you help! I feel better now. My friend bought this at my suggestion, she isn't computer literate and will not keep on with anything if she hits a wall. I'm so glad this works. Thanks again and I hope I don't need help again but I know where to go if I do.

Yes, if your computer has a line-in port, connect line-out or headphones-out of the cassette player to line-in of the computer, then set Audacity to record from line-in.

See this page in the Manual about setting the correct input in Audacity and getting the input level right (aim for -6 dB on the red recording meter):
