A Karl Tape Early July 1982

I would double check the cassette deck is connected to a blue input on your sound card not pink. Some sound card give you an option to change if it is a mic or line in when you plug in a jack and this must be set to line in. If you can't hear audio when not recording then you may have enabled software playthrough And you may need to enable monitoring as described hereTo listen while Audacity is recording, enable what is known as hardware or software playthrough as explained below. If you use software playthrough and want to listen to the input without recording it, you must also left-click in the right-hand (recording) section of Meter Toolbar to turn on monitoring But you should be able to hear audio even without audacity running just make sure that the windows or sound card playback mixer is set to line in, or if not available what you hear. If there is still popping and you are using line in turn down record level or tape output level if available. Use headphones directly on the tape deck to double check the popping is not coming from the deck or connect line out to a HiFi. Hope some of that helps!
