Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to Audacity and am looking forward to transferring quite a bit of material from cassette and reel-to-reel tapes to my PC. The beta version I have is working quite nicely with JAWS, but there's one thing I can't figure out how to do: Both of my tape units don't have earphone jacks, only line-out, so I'd like to preview what's on the tape before starting to record. Problem is I can't figure a way to do this on my Dell Dimension 510, the only way I can hear sound is to go into record, then when done remove the track and start over. I do have an old ThinkPad laptop, and on that machine I can in fact hear what's on the tapes through that computer's speakers, but I really would like to do the same thing using my Dell which is more powerful and which is where I eventually want to store my recordings. I realize this might be slightly off-topic, so apologies in advance if it is, but does anyone know how I might be able to configure my Dell PC so I can hear my tapes through the speakers before I start recording? many thanks in advance for any help!
