Hi, Firstly I'd like to apologize in advance if my question isn't the most clearly stated. I used to be a smart girl but now suddenly I don't feel so anymore so when answering just assume I know nothing (laughs).
It used to be that my desktop had a real dedicated sound card with tons of jacks from which to choose. However, sadly my newer HP Elite Work Station desktop is only fitted with the two jacks on front one for headset and one for microphone line in or so it'd seem. Firstly the sound from these seems to me to be worse than horrific. For speakers I'm using the Bose Companion 5's I think they were called which are lo longer produced. These speakers have a microphone line-in jack on their volume control and if I run a patch cord from say a cassette deck to it I can hear the output but no recording program seems to pick it up through stereo mix. Phew now with all that out of the way I'm wondering if any of you really smart and capable people have any thoughts on how one can make this work. Is the best way forward to grab a USB sound card and install it and set it for input only? If so have you any model recommendations? And if I plug one of these things in is it gonna disturb the performance of the Bose speakers which are plugged in via USB for output? I hope at least some of this makes sense. Thanks again for putting up with me today I hate not feeling smart about a topic. take good care. Robin -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
