I'm trying to record from my turntable (through my receiver's headphone jack)
to my Dell XPS-420 using Roxio Creator Premier 9. The stereo is cabled into
my computer's line-in jack.

For some reason I'm only seeing volume in the left channel. Could this be
my cabling? I'm using the extension cable (1/4") which I use with my
headphones so I know that one is stereo. This is attached to an extender
(1/8" male on each end) which I assume is also sending a stereo signal--but
could this be the culprit?

Sorry that this is perhaps more of an electronics Q than a Vista Q but I
wasn't sure where to go with it, except maybe Dell's forum.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is the line in jack KNOWN to be stereo? Most of the notebooks I've come
across have stereo out but only mono in.

Hi Carl,
Thanks for replying. My Dell XPS-420 is a desktop and, if memory serves me
correctly, I have successfully recorded in stereo through the "line-in"
previously. My recording levels are set the same on both channels.

Today I purchased a "Y" adapter and phone plug coupler so I do have the
option of patching from my turntable aux outputs to the computer instead of
from my receiver's headphone jack.

Any ideas? Thanks for your assistance.

Is the minipin on the Y adapter a 2 wire or 3 pin? If only 2 wire then you
will only get one channel.

The Y adapter packaging says, "1/8 inch stereo phone plug".

Are there TWO insulation rings (stereo) on the 1/8-inch plug itself? Or only
ONE (mono)? It could be a stereo to mono plug, in which case you would only
get the left channel.

"Cal Bear '66',
Thank you. That was super-helpful! I never knew that about the
rings--"dah". The Y adapter is two-ringed; however, it turns out not to be
the connection I need due to the way my receiver connections are set up. The
only extender I had was mono so I have to buy a stereo one. At least now I
know what to look for. Thanks again.
Jeff
