Heres the thing i have purchased a Belkin cord from Jb Hifi they told me this would work i have pluged this into my mixer and into my computer and i can get the sound to come out my comp speakers , but whenever i press record in Audacity it just records nothing just flatlines???

I'm not quite sure I know what you're talking about...

1) What is the Belkin cord and where is it connected?

2) Have you configured your audio input within the software so it's receiving signal from the mixer?

3) What is it you connected to the sub?

Ya, you need to set Audacity to see the Line In from the mixer. You also need to set the line in on the PC..

the belink cord is a cord with RCA's at one end and a jack at the other the RCA end is connected into the back on the mixer and the other end into back of the sub,

no i have configured it to receiving signals from the mixer , how do i do so?

the sub is connected to the headphonejack (back of computer)

how do i set audacity to receive signals from the sub??


thanks heaps for ur help , please get back to me

Okay, well there's your problem....

The cord you have is an RCA-to-minijack. You have it connected to the sub but I'm assuming that the jack isn't a "line-in". You need to get yourself a proper soundcard and connect it directly that way.

does this mean i still have to configure Audacity to the mixer? a proper sound card , what is a proper sound card and where can i get one from?

ahh no worryies cheers i get ha i just used my brothers computer its alot newer it working now , but the recording is distored hard ? :S

That's because the input levels (Windows, I'm guessing) are too hot. Go to the sound control panel and adjust the LINE INPUT levels so the recording is peaking around -6dB.
