Hello Ibrahim Without referring specifically to line input, the RealTek settings in Control Panel fooled me before. They seems accessible but in fact some controls are skipped by the screen reader (at least with JAWS). It took sometime to figure this out and then sighted help (by somebody who could read the screen but was not an expert in computers) sorted out the problem straight away. Yesterday I spoke to a friend who had exactly the same problem with another laptop the Advent 4211.

Thanks for that, it will help me a lot I'm sure. Just in case the dialog box doesn't pop up, is there a way to force line input to be used rather than microphone? My main laptop which is based on a Compal design also uses RealTek HD sound, so this should apply to both machines I use. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Nutt <mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 4:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: advice sought Hi Ibrahim, I believe your Samsung NC10 uses the Realtek codec. In that case, it knows what type of input you are using when you plug in. It should pop up a box I believe and ask what you are plugging in. Select Line In and you're good to go. I don't have a NC10 yet, but that's how my MSI Wind works.

Yeah, that thought did cross my mind *smile*. I'm usually not one to splash the cash unless I feel it's worth the investment, but firstly I use a laptop which only has a basic microphone input socket and secondly, the cassette player and laptop because of space alone can not reside in the same place. I do also have my netbook but I fear that too only has basic microphone input. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Godfrey-McKay <mailto:richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 4:36 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: advice sought Why not use an ordinary cassette player and the free programme audacity? Should to the job.

I am looking for an accessible versatile mp3 recorder for converting my cassette collection in to mp3 for long term storage. I was wondering if someone could recommend something that would do the job, retain high quality and is easy to use? I'm by no means a newcomer to technology but as a rule digital recording and music don't particularly interest me so I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require a massive learning curve to use. Any help would be appreciated. __________ NOD32 3756 (20090110) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
