I have an old boom box and some audio tapes. I'm trying to run the

with the same results.
Please apply the appropriate clue stick to let me record some audio
from an external source.
Dick,
Are you using the audio chip on the motherboard with a mini-phone jack
that has a blue ring? It might be the system isn't seeing the external
imput. The mic input has a red ring surrounding it and the boom box
output
is different from a microphone output. Try the blue mini-phone jack on
the
system's rear panel.

First I tried the jack on the front that is not the headphone jack. I
think it's a mic in jack, but don't know for sure.
Then I tried the red ring jack on the back. I've switched to the blue
ring jack. Still no results in Audacity.
In Audacity I have four options on the tab with a microphone icon:
HDA Intel PCH: ALC887-VD Analog(hw:1,0)
HDA Intel PCH: ALC887-VD Alt Analog(hw:1,2)
pulse
default
All I get is a graph with a straight line at 0.0, in other words, no
signal recorded.
