Recording cassette tape audio to a Lenovo laptop
by G-Raps from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53TZE)
Hi All,
I have a Lenovo W550s laptop with a combination headphone/microphone 3.5mm jack. One can use a headset to do gaming or videoconferencing with a headphone and attached microphone.....or, can plug in an omnidirectional microphone to record audio from external sources, I believe. The laptop also has two stereo microphones on the top of the display screen for videoconferencing or gaming.
I would like to use the jack to record audio from a portable cassette player, using stereo audio cables. Instead of using the built-in, two stereo microphones on the laptop, I would like to use the 3.5mm jack to the cassette player audio out port. Can this be done in Linux ?
I tried to map the audio stereo cable from Audacity's recording input, but don't have the right selection. There is default, pulse, and then HDA Intel PCH: ALC3232 Analog (hw:1,0) as selectable options. Are any of these the input to record from the 3.5mm jack ?
