I have spoken to my Hi fi dealer who is quite happy to test the cable, but very much doubts it is a cable fault.
So, on the preamp end of my cable there is a DIN connect. I would be inclined to follow your advice but my problem is that the manufacturer of my hi fi, Naim, has - to the annoyance of the rest of the hi fi industry - always opted for 5 pin DIN sockets. When I have two separate applications - Cool Edit Pro2 and Audacity that both refuse to create any waveform from my line in you have to look at the cable! * In all honesty, the on-board audio was too noisy for me, and I don't use my computer for critical recording anymore.Įdited by Capn Easy, 17 February 2011 - 07:29 PM. My computer has on-board audio support, too.* It doesn't happen all that often, but it is possible for components to go bad, connections to break, even jacks and plugs can wear out. If you had access to an oscilloscope, that would do it - but if it was me I'd probably try to use a cassette deck with VU meters! Next, I'd plug the headphone output of a known good cassette player (or MP3 player)into the computer's Line-in port, try to record with CEP, starting with low volume and gradually increasing the player's volume.Īn ordinary voltmeter/multimeter probably won't help. If the VU meters showed a reasonable signal and the cassette deck properly recorded a signal, that would show you have a good source. I do a lot of LP and cassette conversions myself, and if I was troubleshooting this on my rig I'd start by digging my old cassette deck out (preferably one with VU meters)and swap the stereo lines from the computer's Line-in jacks to the cassette deck's.

Perhaps the next step is to update the complete NVIDIA audio set-up - I don’t think they let you just update the relevant driver. However, is there any way the current can be checked - a voltmeter or similar?Īudacity also showing the same fault is very boring, as the sound card is built into the motherboard. So whilst, not electrically orientated, what I am able to do seems to suggest that the hi fi to computer cable is live and working. Have done both of these things this afternoon. In CEP I can load a wav file and play it through either my computer speakers, or by adjusting cables, through just my hi fi. Most certainly, over the years, the recording via line in always worked 100%. I say this because if I have my hi fi on (and the cable is always left in line in) and I reboot, as it goes through the boot process it plays for 25 seconds or so whatever is playing through the hi-fi speakers also through the computer speakers. It is split into 2 at the computer end with obviously arrows for directionality. I have not tried any other cables, but I think the cable from my Naim preamp to my one set of jacks is ok. When both similar programs are showing the same fault is it more my system I wonder. I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this fairly basic error. I have also downloaded “Audacity” a similar sort of program, only to find that I have the same problem - I cannot record using line in. This I have done but the fault is still there. This thread started on another topic on the XP forum, and it was suggested I uninstall and reinstall the program.
You may have the record level set too low for the audio signal you're trying to record, or your sound card’’s mixer might not have the desired input set to record. When I try, I get a flat line, and no sound when I play. It seems that this is a common fault as the Help section says: Funnily enough it displays and plays old wav files produced on it beautifully! However, it does extract tracks from my CD drive, although that must be a different part of the program. Launching CEP the other day it will no longer record from line in - all I get are the straight line on the both channels instead of the waveform forming just behind the moving vertical line over both channels. If required I can playback to my Hi Fi speakers using the “return” end of this cable, but normally I will monitor the wav files on my local computer speakers, as really the intention is to get the wave file burnt onto a CD. I also use it to record off air and there is a cable from my preamp to Line in on my computer. I am running XP Home SP3, 2g RAM on a desktop, NVIDIA nforce VAPU/Sonata soundcard.Ĭool Edit Pro 2 is one of my applications and over the last few years I have been converting my LPs to CDs., using CEP in to produce the wav file then declick it etc.
