Recording Analogue Tapes To File Using LINE-IN
Apr 21, 2008
I'm trying to create music files from cassettes using an ACER 5920 lapton (Vista Home Premium) and AUDACITY. I cannot seem to get a signal into AUDACITY, although I han hear an output from the computer's speakers. I have connected the cassette player's headphone output to the computer's LINE-IN jack. I have set the device preferences in AUDACITY and have right-clicked the speaker icon and set the recording device to LINE-IN but still no-go!

Im trying to record audio but only record what I hear & not record from my mic. Problem is my mic is my only option. I updated my drivers which are Conexant High Def Smart Audio221 & also NVIDIA High Def Audio. But after I did that I only a 1 single option to choose from when I look under recording devices. And it is showing disabled devices as well. Any idea's on what im doing wrong and/or what I need? Basically I want to record what only comes out of my speakers & not pic up any backround noise from my mic.

Running a Toshiba Satellite (nice speakers) under Vista Home Premium SP2. There is a series of audio interviews on the web that I want to record on my HD. Currently, I'm having acceptable results simply playing through the speakers and picking it up through the microphone using Sound Recorder. It's not exactly high fidelity, but I'm dealing with speech, not music. The only problem is that it's vulnerable to any noise in the area, and four to six grandkids can produce that effortlessly.
I asked Geek Squad if I could just jumper the earphones output to the mic input, thereby blocking out external noise. She said it wouldn't work because ... yadda yadda .. powered mic ... yadda yadda ... a lot of extra noise. She confused me further with talk about software that will do this. I tried a free trial of one, but it looked as though it was still depending about the output from speakers and said nothing about gagging grandkids. Is there a way to play audio from a website and record it on my HD without depending on immediate airspace?

I have a dell lalptop with windows vista basic. I have used the sound recorder before but the quality is not that great (using the inbuilt mic). So today I brought a microphone headset (cheap one). But I still find a little bit of background noise using the sound recorder. I need this because I do poetry and I am doing some recorded peotry for use as backing for a dvd. Im just looking for the cheapest resonable option. Has anyone got any ideas? I have done a couple of peoms to dvd but the sound lets it down. This is just a project at the moment so I dont wont to spend louds of money on equipment.

I frequently record movies on TV and view the dvr-ms recordings in VMC. I have some movies I would like to permanently save to disk and view in my Media Browser library. Although they originated as TV, is there an easy way to locate the movie metadata and introduce it into Media Browser so the covers, etc. show?

when Vista first came out I found out that you couldnt record any direct sound like you can in XP. I was just wondering if there was been any fixes/work-arounds out recently?

I've dug a little deeper since yesterday and thought about the future uses to which I might wish to put direct recordings. So can anyone steer me towards some simplistic software for recording .wma files - 192kbit/s preferred.

In XP I could record audio with sound recorder from anything I could hear. For example, if I was playing a WAV file, or listening to a song on the internet, I could record it. Now in Vista it only allows me to record from my microphone. I checked disabled devices and still can not get anything but the microphone to show up. Is there anyway around this besides sticking an audio cable from the headphone jack into my mic input? So far Vista has me aggravated with things I have lost, you would think a newer operating system would allow you more flexibility, not take it from you.

I have an HP dv6500z laptop, running 32-bit Vista Home Premium. It has a single microphone input jack , but no line-in jack. The microphone jack has both, mono & stereo capability. I know that line-in and microhone jacks are not the same, but do not know if Wirdows Audio recorder software (or similar) accounts for this. Can I use the microphone input jack to record stereo signals output from another
device (e.g., a Reel-to-reel tape recoder, cassette palyer, turntable, ...). If so, does Windows provide any documentation regarding the parameters that need to be set. What about recording levels ? Is setting these mainly trial & error, or is there some basic Rule-of-Thumb to go by ? Does Windows have a similar Video Recorder application and doumentation ?

I need to know if anyone is aware of any software that can record everything that is being done on a PC I own and store this on a file in that computer or on a server in my own company where we can access it from another computer and view the recording without interfering with the usage of the recorded machine. Is there such a thing?

I'll be attending a 5 day course, 8 hrs per day. I'd like to take my Vista laptop with me and record the voice. I'm worried that I'll run out of disk space pretty fast. Is there any software that would allow me to record in a compressed form straight away?

Is there a way to stopVista from automatically closing WinExplorer upon ejecting CD/DVDR after recording/labeling? Suddenly it's doing it, but I believe upto recent times such annoyance was not happening. Eject disk and continue working in WinExplorer, but now I need to restart and go BACK to a folder where I left off, often burried deep in filetree.

I'm trying to get my Line-in to play through my desktops speakers! They are currently muted and my speaker properties currently don't have an un-mute option (common Vista bug...was so easy on XP). I plugged a stereo jack from my xbox360 into the back of my new desktop with windows VISTA. Windows vista is able to detect sound coming in, but does not play it through my speakers.
So far ive:
-tested the stereo jack in my laptop, with windows XP and it worked perfectly.
-doulbed checked to make sure everything is unmuted.
-used windows vista sound recorder to record input sound...i was able to play it after.......

I recently exported all my mail from Windows mail, re-installed Windows, then imported my mail back in again, along with my account info and contacts. Everything has seemed fine, however approximately one in every 20-50 emails has a strange problem. The subject line will show a subject and sender, however the content pane will show a comletely different email, an email from a different sender and on a diferent date.
1. I might receive an email with a certain sender and subject on the 2nd of Oct 2009.
2. Click on the subject and see different email content from a different sender in the content pane.
3. Check the email headers with the subject selected (Ctrl+F3) and see the headers show it is from the person in the content pane and was sent on the 1st of Oct 2009.

I'm looking for a native x64 command line tool that can display the amount of free RAM. It has to be a true x64 tool. Does anyone know one? My google searches brought up nothing.
Edit: I finally found what I was looking for. RamStatus is the tool that helped me out.

But at WM, it only features a (bold) underlined letter "X"!
So could kindly someone inform me how I could modify this?

If I connect my Vista laptop to a power outlet in public, such as an airport terminal, library, or coffee shop, how viable is the threat from someone gaining access to my computer via a power-line network? If the threat is viable today, what is the best method of stopping it?
I know many people will say this is too unlikely and that other security threats are of much more concern to the average computer user, but with the increasing sophistication of ripoff artists either trying to steal your identity or pilfer your financial data I wouldn't assume the threat is not viable and not likely to increase in the future. After all, the federal government and the defense industry utilize TEMPEST, outlining the need for classified "Red Power" systems to protect computers from power-line monitoring and Van Eyck monitoring as well, versus "Black Power" systems that are connected to the public grid. In fact, not too long ago the French were caught conducting industrial espionage by tapping into a local power grid and accessing information via power lines.

When I enter the first letters of an email recipient's name, a selection of possible recipients appears in a box beneath the To: line. I appreciate this feature, but I would like to eliminate one of these alternative recipients, which is not even in my contacts list. How do I eliminate this unwanted recipient's address? Perhaps this box that ppears is simply a history of sent/received emails beginning with that particular letter -- if so, how do I edit this history?
