How do I capture audio from external input ?
I am running Mint Debian on a ThinkPad T440P, and I want to record audio with Audacity via the combo jack. I used a standard 3.5mm stereo cable connect to the cassette player but I can't get the audio, I believe it was the combo jack not wired that way and shorted the contacts so need an adapter that I don't have. Then I used an USB multi adapter with audio to try, this time I can see the input device on the system sound setting and got signal from it, but it simply noise. Since the USB adapter is type C for newer notebook. so that may not support older notebook or other reasons I don't know, any comment ?
Correction, MINT can only see additional output devices, no change on input device except the on board mic, so that the adapter does not support audio input
