I've got a soundcard ( a 6-channel, Cobra AW-850 pci-card )\nAnd I want to dub tapes onto my computer.With what kind of cable do I connect up the 2, and what kind of software do I use?\n\nOh yeah, and any suggestions on where I can ( if I can... ) register for free webspace?

I plugged my computer into an old stereo system and now the walls vibrate. I have to lock the door to keep my wife from killing me when I crank up Ozzie and Crazy Train. It's not your sound card, I have a standard card in my puter. You need an amplifier and better speakers, both are costly. Best Buy will have a system for around two hundred dollars. A word of advice; get it anyway you can, it is just so much more fun!!!

most 5.1 sound cards will have 3 sockets.\nthese can then be configured depending upon speaker/input connections:\nfor surround sound - front, rear and sub\nfor 2 speakers - output, line in and mic\nso just make sure it is configured for just 2 speaker mode here, and will give you the proper mic input.\n\npossibly here you are using the stereo line connection with a mono mic and will only receive one channel.\nthe speakers can be configured under sounds in control panel and recording levels in the xp volume control mixer, under options..properties.. the various control you want will be selected.\n\nbut not sure what usb adapter mentioned is :| might be a different story...

Go to http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/ and look for your computer model and sound card and download the driver.

If you don't have a sound card with more than one audio outlet, you can use an audio adapter to do this.\n\nCheck out those small shops for these stuff.\nIt is one adapter that gives you two audio outlets\n\ngood luck\n\nXLMan

you first need to know what sound card you have. go to the computer manufacturer's website and go to their downloads section and type in your computer model and number. i.e. presario 5786\nthey should have the specs on your computer, they may even ohave the drivers for your sound card. if they don't write down your sound card's information then go to the sound's card's manufacturer's website to get the drivers. if they don't hav e it, use google to find the drivers you need and download. never underestimate the power fo a good search engine

It would be more useful if you listed the model of your laptop, or what kind of connections it has.\n\nMost laptops nowadays have S-video out, so that would be the easiest if you have that.  As for sound, you would just plug some speakers into your headphone jack.\n\nIf your laptop doesn't have S-video, you could always get something like this as well:\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GXP-2000-PB&cpc=SCH\n\nThat will take your VGA signal and convert it to RCA so you can hook it up to your TV.

its very easy .. just have a stereo jack cable , plug one end in your stereo AUX and one end in the line out  computer, see , there are 3 points in your computer on the back of CPU or even in front of it, one is for mic, one is for speaker and one is for something else .. you have to connect your stereo in the speaker jack of your computer .. it will play ..

Hey fellow\n\nMy c-media sound card keeps tormenting me as your device is doing to you..\n\nI keep trying and trying ... clean the PCI interface then change it between another pci cards .. I.E. switch the one you put in your modem with the one you put your audio device...\n\nTry to clean the copper pins on the audio device by a pencil (rubber) eraser .. i don't know exactly what it does but it works for me...\n\nThen switch your computer and at the boot .. you should recognize the identified card as multimedia device ... it won't work in windows unless you see it at the boot time...\n\nGood luck\n\nCheers

Hi!  I've done a bit of the recording you're thinking of, myself.  I use a program called "Acoustica Mixcraft 2.5" (www.acoustica.com).  They also have a program called Beatcraft, which is surprisingly good.\n\nNow, for the actual recording, you're going to need a preamp for the sound to work in stereo (if not, you can just use mono settings for the sound and it'll work just fine) then you'll need a standard 1/4" Patch Cable, and a small 1/4" to (I think) 1/8" adapter (you can pick one up at Radio Shack).  Just plug it in and you're set to go!\n\nEnjoy, have fun, and good luck!

I would suggest finding the program again.  You may have gotten it on a disc with your Toshiba, but then again, you may have not.  http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/drivers/119/119048.htm\n\nMy search yielded that.  The link there will direct you to a website that is all about drivers and programs that install them.  All you will have to do is setup a quick account with them and download away.  But, if you get impatient, look for Aureal Vortex on google and find another site to download them from.  I like downloading them from Drivers Guide due to the fact that they are much less likely to contain a virus/malware.

A cable sold in most music stores, and on the Adventus web site. The complete name is, ‘sound card to MIDI’ cable, and you should select the longer cable (10’ or12’) for the convenience of reaching to your keyboard more easily. In the case of a Laptop, a different cable with adapter is normally used.\n\nJust go to radioshack and ask for the cable that will connect your midi keyboard to your computer and they will help you out with the adapter you need.\n\nYou should buy a really good sound card if you plan on recording music on your computer.\n\nGo to this website:\nhttp://www.musicmasterworks.com/\n\nIts the cheapest one I can find. Theres a trial version so maybe you can just keep using the trial version without paying for it.

Use "MP3MyMP3", it's a free program that can record ANYTHING going through your sound card (assuming you choose the right input device on the program), and allows you to save it to MP3 or MSADPCM WAV. Be careful though, it can slow down your system, as it's rather process intensive if you're trying to record from games (which you don't appear to be doing).\n\nThe website is:\n\nhttp://www.mp3mymp3.com\n\nHope this helps you.

i use sound forge for pc and soundedit16 on mac for most sounds i use.  you can also find quite a bit of sounds at Findsounds.com. usually i just connect a mic to my computer and start recording gibberish or just get a recorder and start recording stuff elsewhere.  Then i just edit it and clean it up a bit with the software.  You can probably get them and the serial off some filesharing network like limewire or something.  Or you can buy them if you have the money.  The software uses sound visiual sound waves for you to edit sounds.

You CANNOT connect the turntable to your line input. Turntable output is very low voltage and it also varies depending on whether you use a moving coil or moving magnet cartridge. An amplifier WITH PHONO INPUT will pre-pre-amplify this singal to line levels so that it can be fed to a tape recorder or your computer. \n\nIf you have an amplifier with phono input then use:\nturntable -> amplifier -> computer line-in\n\nDo not use the SPEAKER output to connect the computer! Use the "tape out" or "line out" of the amplifier for that purpose. \n\n------ WITHOUT AMPLIFIER -------\n\nIf you do NOT have an amplifier, just a turntable, you could consider an external phono amplifier (can be found from very cheap to very, very expensive) between your turntable and the line input of the computer. This is the cheapest and easiest solution but the results could be of relatively low quality, depending on your sound card and on the quality of the phono pre-amplifier.\n\nFinally, consider a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro (semi-pro sound card, ~300$) that comes equiped with a phono input and can accept turntable output directly. This one is also ideal for recording, much more capable than any onboard audio you might have. If you are going to do a lot of recording from vinyl to computer, this card will allow you to record at 96KHz/24bit (much higher than CD quality) and apply noise reduction and other filters. The point of using higher-than-CD resolution is so that the application of audio filters does not degrade quality quickly. You can then  down-sample to CD quality of you want.\n\nThis issue is rather complicated. Getting half-decent results should be relatively easy, but if you need top quality you will need to invest time and money on this.

if you have the cd's that came with your pc with the device drivers on it, it is just as easy and time saving to remove the soundcard from your list of devices , reboot, let the computer recognize a "new device" and viola, load the driver from the cd after it asks for it.  if you need any further help you can email me  at  cybertoothtyger1999@yahoo.com  good luck
