There's plenty of advice online and Utube about digitizing audiocassettes with a laptop, a patchcord and a piece of

software, such as Audacity. I have tried this with a Sony Walkman cassette player but cannot get Audacity to "hear" the cassette's output. I have tried with another software also...same non-result.

The Aspire only has the headphone jack to receive a signal. Am I failing to set a parameter on the software...or on my Windows 8.1 machine, to be able to  do this, or am I attempting the impossible? The Utube gurus make it seem so simple!

Thanks for any help.

i just see an headphones/audio output, nothing about input that's what you need.

i suggest you to find an USB sound card if you need audio input.

The response did not answer my query, though the information was probably accurate for my

particular model of Acer. A solution of sorts was achieved thanks to a usb cassette player I found

deeply discounted at a local Source (your Radio Shack) store.
