Question
QUESTION: Hi: Can you tell me how to record from my cassette player to my laptop. Right now I have it plugged in from the stereo to the mike input and have Magix program up. At one time, I was able to do this with Magix but can't remeber how to get the program to input from the mike plug in. Also, is there a better input than the mike input?

Thanks

ANSWER: Hi Dear Gray and happy for answering your question;

I think Laptops are not good choices for doing this.I have done the same thing many times.With both my Desktop Computer and Laptop.Recording with Desktop is much more easier I think, but I will tell you how.
First plug your cord to your stereo output(also Headset Jack) and plug the end of the wire to your Laptop Input(also Microphone).
I recommend you Sony SoungForge for recording.It is a very good software for doing such things.
Set the settings in your Laptop in the control panel for the Input, then open Sony SoundForge and open the recording window.Play your cassette player and press the record button in SoundForge.
Attention:You have to use a wire that can be adapted to your Laptop.Refer to your user's manual for more information about the cord.
If this procedure doesn't work, tell me, I will give you more information.
Thanks for your question.

QUESTION: Thanks for the help, but I'm not quite there. When I open "speech" in the COntrol Panel, it doesn't have a "speech recognition" or an "audio input" tab. How do I select an input? I tested the mike port and it indicates input and the computer test indicates the hardware is working, but there is no sound coming through the speakers. Somehow, I don't get the sound from the mike port to the computer speakers.
ANSWER: Hi Dear Gray again;
It appears that your sond card driver has not been installed correctly.You can reinstall it and restart your computer.If it doesn't work, tell me.
I would help you better if you tell me your Laptop model.

Thanks for questioning&Bye

QUESTION: Here' what I have: Audio Codecs, Intel(r) 82801 CA/CAM AC '97 Audio Controller, and Legacy Audio Drivers. I have no idea what any of that is.

Answer
Hi Gray;

I guess it is your problem.You do not know what a sound card is.You contacted DeLL and you claim they did not solve your problem either, so it is not my problem.I wanted you to tell me your sound card model, so that I could send you the driver, but you rated me like that.
I have to mention that English is my second language.I speak and write in 3 languages, so you do not have to expect me much.
You have an aged laptop, so you may have problems like this one in future too.
We generously devote our precious time answering you questions politely and you treat us like this?

Bye for now.
