#HOOKING IPOD TO TAPEDECK INPUT ON AMPLIFIER SOFTWARE#

The schematics I found discussed various hookups to home theater systems and implicated the green/yellow/black ports but NOT the blue port. Went online to try to find more info about the blue/green/yellow/pink/black plugs which I had assumed were all outputs. Using a CD player (since I wasn’t sure my turntable was in working condition), I tried connecting the receiver to every hole in the back of the computer except the blue one, which I thought was an output to speakers based on the poorly marked printout that came with the DELL. Thanks everyone for your help! Finally succeeded in getting sound…after much exasperation and wonderment as to whether I even had a sound card on my DELL XPS-200.

If you don't get any sound now, and there were no level adjustemnts shown, you may have to use the software that came with your soundcard to enable the aux and line inputs and adjust the levels. Make sure Aux and Line are not muted, and turn the levels up about half way. Now go to the record window and select the 'volume' button. If you can't adjust the volume here, close the window. If so, put on a record and turn the volume up on 'Aux' and 'Line' and the master volume so you can hear the phono. Depending on your operating system and soundcard you may be able to adjust the volume from this window. There will be inputs for 'aux' or 'line' or both. Click on 'Volume.' There will be a display or menu showing the different inputs on the card, as well as wave, cd, etc. Now you should see a selection for playback and one for record. There should be a tab that says 'audio.' Click on that. Right click on it and there should be a selection that says 'adjust audio properties.' Click on that and a menu will open. It may look like a speaker, or a control. On the lower right side of the screen, in the task bar, you should find an icon for volume. If you can hear the phono, the receiver is probably ok. If you don't have speakers connected, plug in headphones into the receiver and listen that way. Now try playing a record and make sure you can hear it through the speakers connected to the receiver. If you don't see a switch like that, then as long as the selector is set to Phono it will send that signal to the record output jacks. If your receiver can do this, it will have a switch that selects the source to be recorded. Some equipment allows you to listen to one thing while another source is sent to the recorder. Now see if there is a 'record out' selector. First, the input selector must be set to Phono. Now look at the front panel of the receiver. Make sure that the 'tape output' or 'record output' jacks on the receiver are connected to the 'Aux Input' on the sound card. Tuner, rather than Phono is going to the computer. Your turntable must go into a phono input, otherwise it will not have the correction for the RIAA curve that the records are cut with, and will be sound terrible. What I'm wondering is this: can I connect the turntable output to my TEAC reel-to-reel input and then connect the TEAC output to the Insignia tape input and passively route the phono signals through the tape deck to the receiver?Īs is probably evident, I know nothing about audio/video stuff.but figured I might as well ask.:sigh: Now I'm wanting to transfer all my vinyls to the computer and discovered that my new Insignia receiver does not have a phono input. After two tries getting it 'fixed' I just put it away in storage and stopped listening to my records and tapes. Many years ago sound coming through the speakers would go off (there'd be a popping sound inside the receiver when this happened) and then after awhile would pop back on. I'm thinking that the problem lies with my receiver. I am fairly confident I had all my cables hooked up correctly.the signal gauges on the computer audio recorder was showing activity of some kind (although it seemed to be receiving signals from the tuner rather than phono), but in any case I couldn't hear sound through the computer speakers. I've got a DUAL turntable (purchased early 80's) and tried hooking it up to my old Yamaha receiver which I then connected to my computer.
