Recently I've installed Audacity to edit audio captured from my
mini-disk. The sound card I have is based on a C-Media CMI8738 chipset.
There's only one mic socket on the card so I thought this would be a
doddle to sample. ...
It may well this to work, but unless you know what you're doing, you
generally don't want to plug anything into the mic input except a
microphone.
For a mini-disk player, or any other audio device, you want to use the
sound card's "line in" input. There's only one of those as well ;-)
The mic input expects a much smaller signal voltage range and although
you can usually adjust the player volume low enough to get the signal
down, you're then working in a range that may not be optimal for the
player's output electronics.
The player's headphone output and the sound card's "line in" are a
better match.
