Thanks Michael,

I tried adjusting the volume of the Line-In on the Windows Mixer, but the
audio was still distorted. Also, I noticed the the VU meters were pegged on
my tape deck during the test. When I unplugged the audio cable from the
laptop mic input, the VU meters went back to normal. This is a puzzle.

I only need mono to record the Church Sermon. I discussed the resistor
devider idea with a friend. Do you think I may be introducing some problems
with frequency response? Do you think a 1000 to 1 divider will do the trick?


Thanks,
David
