| 182911 | 2003-10-14 00:08:00 | At last I have managed to get my turntable plugged in to my computer with a signal coming through so that I can record on to the hard drive and then hopefully burn on to CD's. BUT, now I find I can't get the audio into the system so that I can record it. I have got Windows Media and real Audio installed but neither seems to be able to locate the audio input from the turntable. I know it's just a matter of some settings some were in the audio software but not sure where. Any help would be appreciated. PS running Win ME |

| 182912 | 2003-10-14 01:17:00 | Hi Percy, Win95/98 & probably ME, have two "mixers" for sound as follows: Play control - this controls the inputs,& levels of the sound from your pc speakers.(in this you need to "mute" any unwanted inputs, e.g. mic, to avoid feedback when recording) Record control - this controls the inputs & levels of the sound to record to a recorder program, or transmit using online phone & talk programs.(in this you need to "select" the wanted input, e.g. mic when recording) Both need to be setup, depending on what you want to do. Open the 'Volume control' from the system tray. Check out the help there. It will explain how to make the settings for recording, & selecting the required input. |

| 182914 | 2003-10-14 03:53:00 | Find the mixer, then turn down all the inputs except (probably) the "Line" one. It will probably be off by default. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 182916 | 2003-10-14 04:20:00 | I dont think the advice for Percy to "Find the mixer & turn down inputs, except line" will enable his recording. As advised earlier, it is the 'Record control' in the vol control, that determines recording functions. In there the desired input (usually line input) needs to be 'selected' i.e. ticked. Kiwibeat's comment is correct, if the record player does not have a preamp to provide equalisation. In that case the player should connect to an amplifier phono input, and then the amplifier line output is connected to the PC soundcard line input. I hope you can get it sorted Percy.. |

| 182917 | 2003-10-14 07:13:00 | Thanks for the replies. I have got the sound to the PC, it is playing through the PC's speakers. Have checked that the input is selected, as one post indicated it was muted and have corrected that. Still find that I am unable to pick up the source from either Win media our Real Player. it only seems to have a cd rom drive as a source for sound input. Am I trying to record through a system that does not support alternative sound sources? PP |

| 182919 | 2003-10-14 08:01:00 | Percy, you are not listening, understanding. Getting sound from your PC speakers will not help recording. Muting/unmuting there is only for the play control for the PC speakers. As I said, you need to goto the "Record control" where the inputs are "selected" There is no muting there, just selecting the input to be recorded. Try again.. |
