Connect the audio to the "line in" jack. The "line in" is stereo - the mic input is only mono. You don't use a "speaker" jack, which is an OUTPUT for an input.
Your audio cable is probably RCA phono plugs (two plugs if you have stereo) and you will need an adapter for the RCA to 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo plug. You can find that at Radio Shack.
Alright thanks that helped but I still have a problem I have a Xpert DVD makerUSB 2.0 capture device which is connected to my computer. The usb cable is connected to my USB port and the audio out cable is connected to my Line in port on my sound card in my desktop. When using cyberlink power producer gold, I can see and hear video and audio as the video is being captured which both sounds and looks great, but after the recording is complete, I can see video but no audio is playing. That is my problem when I playback video after capturing it, I cannot hear any audio all I can see is video with no audio. But when I plug the audio out cable into my microphone port instead of line in port and capture video, I can playback the video and hear the audio as well, but the drawback is that the audio sounds very bad, probably because the microphone input is only mono and line in is stero. So please I would really like to capture video using the line in port so i can capture video with better audio. So if you guys could help me out that would be great.
If you are hearing the audio as it's being recorded but not on playback with the Line In but you can hear playback audio with the mic input, that would say the recording program is set to record audio from the mic input. There should be a setup in the program that you can set the audio source as the Line In, instead of Mic.
I have a DVD Xpress "Cap Wiz" program and the DVD Xpress USB connected unit I have has both video and audio connections on the USB interface unit. Check yours and see if it has the connections. I've "recorded" to the hard drive from my Sony Camcorder and then created a DVD using the DVD Xpress interface unit and had no problems with video or audio.
I am having problems capturing audio with my video. When I try to record anything with sound on my computer, the only thing that records is the video, not the audio.
How can I record / capture sound? This is very frustrating as I take online classes and sometimes I need to record a class for future reference. The new Dell computer that I have now doesnt seem to allow me to do this. My old computer had no problems with this.

Hi
I am having problems capturing audio with my video. When I try to record anything with sound on my computer, the only thing that records is the video, not the audio.
How can I record / capture sound? This is very frustrating as I take online classes and sometimes I need to record a class for future reference. The new Dell computer that I have now doesnt seem to allow me to do this. My old computer had no problems with this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
