You are trying to use Roxio Easy LP to MP3 software program. You have the head phone input on you stereo connected to the line in on your Microsoft Windows eXPerience operating system based computer. That capture from setting indicates a correct sound card detected on your computer. The “Input” setting shows only line volume, stereo mix, and one or two other options, which none of those options is “line in”.
When you start to record you don ot see any recording level at all. You have tried both long play records and cassette tapes using the connection from your head phones on stereo to line-in on that computer system. The “capture from” has the correct sound card detected, which is a RealTek high definition audio input. The only “input” options available are “CD Volume, MIC Volume, Line Volume and Stereo Mix” and line-in does not appear as an option at all.
When you play a long play record with the volume turned up louder, and then yout press the “record” option, no recording level appears. One quick thing you can try is to use your stereo's line out or audio out. Also, not to sound condescending but are you using a cable kit that came with that Roxio long play record to MP3 software program?
Also, did you hook it up according to some installation instructions? Using the line out from stereo to line in on your computer sound card should work hypothetically. You can also try a blue digital audio input jack on your sound card if it has one.
Another place to look is in your Microsoft Windows operating system sound properties. You will want to browse to “Start” then select “Control Panel”. In Microsoft Windows operating system Control Panel you will want to browse into “Sound and Audio Devices” then you can choose that “Advanced” button.
In that Advanced window, you will want to make certain that a mute box is NOT checked for “Line In”. Also, you will want to make sure that the volume adjustment is not too low or set all the way down. If that volume setting is low or muted for line in then obviously it will not record anything.
These instructions were written for Microsoft Windows eXPerience operating system. However, you could use these instructions as a basis point to troubleshoot this same problem in a different version of Microsoft Windows operating system. The exact steps maybe different depending on which exact Microsoft Windows operating system you are using.
