Re: Trying to use Ion Express
Has anyone here used Audacity 2.1.2 under Ubuntu 16.04 to record from a Ion Tape Express ?
The tutorials seem to be for Windows or Mac & not much help. Please if anyone has success thanks

Re: Trying to use Ion Express
I've used Audacity 2.1.2 to record from a USB audio interface on Xubuntu 16.04. As far as Audacity is concerned, that's the same as a USB cassette player (the Linux sound system just sees the USB audio chip, and Audacity just sees what the sound system says it has.)[email protected] wrote:Has anyone here used Audacity 2.1.2 under Ubuntu 16.04 to record from a Ion Tape Express ?
There are several ways to check which sound cards are installed on Linux. Here's one. Try this (after connecting the Ion Tape Express) and copy / paste the result into your reply:

Re: Trying to use Ion Express
OK, so the device is not recognised at all.
Does the device have a detachable USB lead? If it does, try another lead.
Have you tried plugging into a different USB port on your computer?
Are you able to test the device on another computer?
Does the Ion tape express show any signs of life (such as the tape going round when you press the "Play" button)?

Have you tried plugging into a different USB port on your computer? (yes similar results)
Are you able to test the device on another computer?(In hospital now will try later)
Does the Ion tape express show any signs of life (such as the tape going round when you press the "Play" button)? (Yes when connected to the USB cable the tape does go around)
Also I downloaded WINE & the cassette player is not seen in software for Windows. I no longer have my receipt I purchased it so ling ago.
Again thanks for responding
