Audio/electronics purists will instantly recognize that the electrical match between your device??™s
speaker output and your PC??™s audio input are not ideal, and I??™m a bit embarrassed to admit
to this blatant violation of sound-engineering practices, but you??™d be amazed at how well this
works (and not blow out your device).
Double-click the speaker icon again to open another mixer control panel.
Choose Options | Properties to view the mixer Properties dialog box, shown
in Figure 15-4.
Choose the Recording radio button, check either the Aux or Line In check
box, depending on which audio input jack on your PC you connected the
patch cable to, and then click the OK button.
In the Recording Control panel, shown in Figure 15-5, check only the Select
check box for Aux or Line In and then adjust the level to 10??“20 percent of
maximum.
