Can't hear anything...Is it working?
Hi, I'm trying to transfer some cassette tapes to digital media. I have a walkman and a cord - that is connected from the headphone jack of the radio to the microphone jack of my computer. I've changed the settings on the Preferences to "Stereo" and using the Lame(?) plugin software. When I turn on the walkman....nothing! According to the set-ups online I've found, I'm doing everything right....any suggestions??

Re: Can't hear anything...Is it working?
Not exactly. The sound level at the player headphone jack is Line Level, not Microphone Level. Switch connectors behind the computer--if you can. Maybe from Pink to Blue? Read the labels. If you have a laptop, this could be a problem.
Then set the Line Input as the active connection in Windows, not Audacity. You should know that if you click once inside the right-hand (red) Audacity meters that they will start working without making a digital recording. This is helpful with troubleshooting.
