Solve : Help recording with Line-in (Laptop)? |
|
Answer» I don't know why, but I can't record with line-in. Now, I have a line-in jack, and my line-in is unmuted, but it won't work. I remember being able to record with line-in flawlessly on an old desktop I had, with just speakers plugged in. I have speakers plugged into my line-in jack, but nothing happens. Blank. Totally blank. I have speakers plugged into my line-in jack, but nothing happens That's a novel approach. Line-in is an INPUT socket, i.e. the socket accepts input from an external device such as the line-out of an amplifier or from an earphone socket (don't use the speaker output from an amp, the rating is probably too great). Line-in will probably not detect any input from speakers which are OUTPUT devices.. I suggest you try recording using the line-output socket on something like a record/dvd/tape player. Good luck But I don't get it. I was before able to record with Line-in with only REGULAR speakers. Now you're telling me to use Line-out? I have no line-out. I'm probably misunderstanding you, so could you rephrase in layman's terms? Of course, it didn't really help when you WENT from line-in to line-out... Quote Line-in is an INPUT socket, i.e. the socket accepts input from an external device such as the line-out of an amplifier or from an earphone socket (don't use the speaker output from an amp, the rating is probably too great). watBump. HELP PLZwhat he meant is the line in jack is for when you want to PLUG an external device like an ipod or a stereo receiver.The line out is for only speakers or connecting your laptop to a stereo Quote Of course, it didn't really help when you went from line-in to line-out... Mmmmm. Most audio devices (and here I'm not just talking computers) have FACILITIES to input and output signals. You will note that I said Quote Line-in is an INPUT socket, i.e. the socket accepts input from an external device such as the line-out of an amplifier or from an earphone socketNote that bit wot says "from an external device such as the line-out of an amplifier or....". So, the Line-in(put) socket on your pc accepts input from the line-out of an external device such as an amplifier. Get the picture? The amplifier has a line-out(put) connection which is linked to the line-in(put) of the pc. Output sockets could be marked as "Audio Out" or "Earphones" or just have a symbol to indicate an output socket. The audio signal is generated by the player, passed to the amplifier and is available at the line-out socket of the amplifier. From the line-out socket of the amplifier it is connected to the line-in socket of your pc which will make it available to whatever audio player/recorder software is in use to be output to your speakers and/or recorded. | Player |-->--| Amplifier |-->amplifier line-out-->--//-->--PC Line-in-->| pc | (Note: The player and amplifier may be contained in one unit) Quote I was before able to record with Line-in with only regular speakers Try plugging your speakers into the Mic socket, it might work (see here..) Good luck again. |
