That's still correct but a better refinement is ALT + PrtScr. That captures only the current window whereas PrtScr captures the whole screen.

We cannot see your computer. I suggest you follow the suggestions made. Look for sound enhancements and turn them off. Open Device Toolbar and select the input device you are recording from.

So assuming you are connecting the cassette player to the mic input on the computer, your
Device Toolbar should look something like this:


Don't choose the internal microphone if you see that. It should say microphone or external microphone.

instead of listening thru the tv monitor, I ve tried again and am listening
thru speakers............. from cable out of back of comp

I ve unticked the thru sound button

Now Im getting sound ok thru the speakers...... no echo

Im getting good recording quality on playback in audacity .. no echo

So I think Im finally back to normal !

I ll go get that Jim Reeves tape in to try and get it over to disc

She s given me a dvd disc......... that should still play in CD player s ( I hope )

When you use the computer speakers, XP probably plays the input through the speakers without you having to use Software Playthrough. If so, that is good, because there is no latency with that type of playthrough.

Even so, if you were recording the echo, something is not correct. You should be able to record from the cassette player without software playthrough being recorded.
