Update Re: Audacity Tutorials
Hi all, Well, it’s turning out that I’m probably not going to need Audacity at all, because I made a huge discovery this morning. It turns out that VMWare has been seeing my line-in jack all the time, it’s just that the label in my sound settings was Microphone, and that was very misleading for me. I kind of do feel very sheepish, but when I went into the properties for my input device inside the VM, there was a checkbox that says “listen to this device”, and when I checked it and tried to play something from my cassette recorder, voila, sound! Luckily I was able to figure all this out before the end of my 30-day trial, so now I will bite the bullet and purchase. Thanks for all your suggestions, folks, I do appreciate them!

Re: Audacity Tutorials
I did get to the Sounds and Audio Devices section, the only device listed was HD Audio. I completely uninstalled the device, and was asked to restart Windows. When I did that, HD Audio reinstalled automatically. To reiterate my issue, sound comes up fine so I can use JAWS, Narrator, or whatever screen reader I choose. However, the only Input device that shows up under properties is a Microphone, even though my Mac mini has a line-in jack. I can’t for the life of me figure out how I can get this VM to see that line-in jack. My thanks, by the way, to the other person who suggested a couple of apps for me to check out. I’m planning to do that soon if I can’t do my tape transfers through Windows on the VM.

RE: Audacity Tutorials
Can you get in to the device manager and have a look at the sound / audio devices and see if any have ! or ? against them? Then try deleting them and restart the vm to see if you can get a windows default audio device to install. Also if you have a USB audio device such as speakers or usb headphone adapter, Plug that in and ensure that the USB device is seen in the vm tools as being seen by the actual vm. Then start up jaws or narrator and see what happens. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Pete De Vasto Sent: Saturday, 15 September 2018 2:57 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Audacity Tutorials Hi Simon, Thanks for your reply.

Re: Audacity Tutorials
Hi! I gave up audacity long ago as they stopped the support of later versions with VoiceOver. I haven’t transfered any tapes to the computer so i am not sure what would work. But there are some other aplications out there for the mac. I have Audio Hijack from Roughe Amoeba and Amadeus Pro from Hairsoft. Both are really accessible with VoiceOver. Amadeus Pro is quite straight forward so i suggest you take a look at that. I am not sure if there’s a demo on hairsoft.com but i think i downloaded a demo before i bought it. /A > 13 sep. 2018 kl. 22:16 skrev Pete De Vasto : > > Hi, > > I’m still struggling with trying to get windows under VMWare Fusion to see > the line-in jack on my late 2014 Mac mini.

Re: Audacity Tutorials
Hi Simon, Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions: Yes, I do have an audio device installed on the VM machine. It’s HDAudio. The problem is that when I go to Sound Settings in Windows, the only input device I see is a Microphone, no line-in jack. So Narrator, even JAWS for that matter, does come up just fine. When I’m in the Windows VM, it’s a bit tricky if I want to toggle between Windows and Mac OS, but I’m getting the hang of it and I’m sure it’ll get even easier the more I use it. Windows in the Bootcamp environment works fine, and there I even do see the line-in jack. The interesting thing about the Bootcamp environment is that I have three different output choices, one for speakers, one for headphones, and one for digital audio. In the stand-alone VM, I only have speakers. What’s also puzzling to me is that if I create a VM by importing my Bootcamp partition, it says that everything is copied over, but that doesn’t seem to be the case if I don’t have all the device choices. I would stay with running in the Bootcamp environment, but it’s a pain to have to reboot out of Bootcamp any time I want to go back to Mac OS. I hope this all makes sense.

Hi Pete, I see you said the vm tools were installed from what you could see, Have you checked to see that you have an audio device installed also in the vm?
