Audio from TV to Computer

cyclones · 06-29-2008, 08:13 PM

Hello. I was wondering if it possible to take my audio from my TV to computer. My TV is a symphonic and it has the headphone jack on the front of the TV and then I checked my computer and im pretty sure it has an audio in.

Here's my motherboard specs site ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

On the back of my computer, there is a Blue Input which I think is for audio in. Im going to buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm (male to male) audio cable so I can get them both hooked up from TV to Computer.

Just wondering if this will work and if I need any extra hardware or software?

Let me know please,
Thanks!

that should work but are you planning on recoding the sound?

You'll want Audacity to record the audio to a file.

are you planning on just playing the tv sound on your computer speakers that way or what?

Yes with a line-in cable it works, and you can record the sound too...

As for the software, its up to you I guess...any works....someone suggested Audacity..even the simple windows sound recorder works...(you'll have to change the 'recording' settings to 'line in' instead of 'mic' thou)

Gluck

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I do already have audacity. So when I have something playing on the TV and I hook it up to my computer, it will automatically start playing it over my speakers or what?

Thanks!

Ok, so I got the Cable today. I connected it to my headphone port on my TV and then to the line in on the back of the computer. I can hear the sound from the TV, but it sounds really static and I adjusted the cables and it still sounds the same.

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks!
