Jun;
Since you say you can hear the tape coming through the computer
You must be hooked up okay cable wise.
My guess would be you need to go into sound properties
and select the proper recording input for the creative recorder.
probably " line in"
mine has a "select" check box.
check that box then adjust the record level all the way up to start.
You can fine tune the record volume within creative recorder.
Make sure you switch to record options (as opposed to play options)
 by going to sound mixer (volume control)
click options/properties then check recording.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Tape to CD


I have a tape player, and a line-in cable.  I can hear the tape play
perfectly on my PC (when I play it, and linked the tape player head-phone
port to my sound card line-in, I get sound from PC speaker as clear as from
tape player), but neither windows sound recorder or creative sound recorder
can record it.  In control panel, preferred record device is selected as my
SB card, what I did wrong?
