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!
