Jun,

Right click Volume Control in the taskbar and choose properties. In Volume
Control, choose Options, Properties, then click the radio button for
Recording and make sure Line In is checked. Click Ok, and the window will
now be Recording Properties. Make sure Line In is selected underneath it,
and you can adjust the slider for the input level you need.

Good Luck!

Subject: [PCBUILD] Tape to CD


Hi everyone,

I know this question has been asked number of times before, but I forgot the
solution.  I now have a one time project to save some of my old tapes that
hold old family record (mainly myself).  I need to copy them on CD, and
because they are already very old and the sound is already "noisy", so that
I need to directly input them to my sound card Line-in, and hopefully get
the best possible quality.

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?
