Can't get guitar connected to pc - Page 2

Hi guys!

So today I decided it was time to upgrade from my $70 Yamaha to something a tad bit more.... everything. So I went to GC for the third time and finally made my decision: a Breedlove AD25SRPlus.

I went to radio shack and got my 1/4 to 1/8 adapter. Plugged a new 1/4 monster cable into the breedlove, the other end into the adapter, and the adapter into the line in. I set the recording properties on the sound card to line in.

I'm getting nothing! Audacity is getting zip from the line in. I thought I did everything right; I used to broadcast internet radio from my PC so I know a thing or two about soundcards. I even tried plugging into the mic jack with the boost enabled.

Can anyone think of anything stupid I'm missing? For what it's worth, the guitar worked with the amp in the Guitar center.

Thank you in advance

Hi JC, don't feel bad. I plagued Tekker for days (weeks?) because I couldn't get my settings right so I could use a mic in and a line in on my computer. After many trial and errors, and then a systematic testing of each component it turned out to be...........the second hand Tascam I had started to use only worked properly on one set of line in/mic in (there were two sets).

Thanks again Tekker
