plug "Cassette recorder socket" into PC Soundcard ?

Post by jedie »

Is it possible to plug the cassette in/out with a simple, passive cable into a PC Soundcard?

The pinouts have i found here: http://dragon32.info/info/pinouts.html#tape

Somewhere i found a "cassette to iPhone" guide and there was two resistors. Only for "volume" adjust?

You don't need resistors for normal sound cards, that's an "iThing". Simple, passive cable is fine.
