Phone jack to my laptop

I have an old Walkman cassette player and found an old cassette I'd like to digitize. I have a converter box... the phone jack to the converter is by way of RCA cables... from the output of the converter which uses RCA jacks ... My question is how do I connect RCA to USB? I went to Radio Shack and they don't have an RCA to USB...any suggestions?
Thanks!

What is that "converter box"?
The easiest way would be to forget the box and hook up your walkman to the computer:

  • Can't hear from ear phone jack!

    I downgraded my operating system from Vista to xp pro.  Everything works fine except that I can't hear anything when I try to use my ear phone jack.  Can Anyone Help?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I assume the speakers work fine,a dn you have tried the physical volume knob on the computer?
    Belwo is what one user posted that worked for them.
    Ok.. finally got my Satellite L355D-S7825 headphones working. Here's what i did:
    1) Download the latest Realtek Sound Drivers
    2) Go to Sound Properties and disable any Microsoft drivers. You should only have Realtek drivers. The headphones should now work, but it may have turned off your laptop's speakers. So..
    3) Under Sound Properties, double click on "Speakers" and go the "Advanced Tab". Select "Test" to make certain your laptop speakers still work.

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • How can I safely get a broken-off head phone jack out of the receptacle?

    The head phone jack broke off in the iPad. It is too far down to remove with tweezers. Any suggestions on how to get it out safely? I sent it to the company and was told that unless I fixed the dent on the corner and scratches to the charging base at a cost of $255, they could not fix it. So now I am trying to figure out how to get it out myself.
    Thank you for your help,
    Karen

    Use super-glue on the tip of a jeweller screwdriver (tiny screwdriver) to extract the phone jack.

  • A way how to fix the Zen Micro head phone jack prob

    Hi! I am one of the many people that purchased a Zen Micro MP3 player, I loved it until around 6 months of use, an audio shorting problem with the head phone jack, started to repeat it's self every time, that I would plug my head phone's into the Zen Micro head phone jack. After awhile, I was tired of this problem, so I just decided to never use it again, unless I could find out if the maker of the Zen Micro had a repair service. I noticed that some people had their Micro's replaced a few times under the warranty that is included with the player. I also noticed that some one created a way to fix this problem, but I wanted to see if I could find an easier way to fix the problem. Well I did end up finding an easier way to fix the problem, this is what I did.
    Absolutely in all means I can't be held responsible / reliable for any unforseen thing / things, that you may or could, do to the Zen Micro, by following the instructions, which I provided. By trying what I did by following the instructions, which I provided you; you accept all responsibility to any thing / things, that may or could happen to the Zen Micro.
    The Instructions:
    I took a stapler pressed it down to get a used staple then I carefully inserted it in the outer part of the plastic head phone jack ring. Then I pressed the rest of the staple flat against the Zen micro. And Now I get great sound, it is at least better than, the way it was before I inserted the staple. I would suggest to always remove the staple. When you connect the Zen Micro to a computer, charging device, or any other device other than a pair of head phones. You understand that if you leave the staple inserted in the Zen Micro and don't remove it. While you have it connected to a computer, charging device, or any other device, or devices, even a pair of head phones, and some thing happens, you can't hold me responsible.
    If you would like to see a photo of how it looks please reply to this message and just include your email address please. I will send it to you as soon as possible. The photo has 4 photos sized down to perfectly fit on one photo, so you can get a good idea of what it should look like.

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

  • Recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step

    recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step instructions xoxoxo
    And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • I have a 24" mid 2008 imac when i plug the head phone jack into my stereo i have a hum that never goes away.

    i have tried grounding both the head unit and also the computer it self and all i find is the noise is still there. what can i do to get rid of the noise? i think the problem is in the grounding of the head phone jack it's self but i dont know. has any one else had this same problem? thanks for your time.

    How did you confirm grounding? How old is your house? Does it have 3-prong outlets? If not, there's no guarantee they are wired right even if they are the ones with one wider prong slot. If they are 3-prong, that's still no gurantee they are wired right. You would need one of the below to be sure. Just trying to save a lot of troubleshooting of devices when it could be your house wiring.

  • WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL CELL PHONE AND TABLET/ULTRABOOK/LAPTOP COMBO?

    I’d like to see what everyone here thinks is the best CELL PHONE and TABLET/ULTRABOOK/LAPTOP combination to own this year now that the CES show is coming to a close.  So post up what you think is the ideal combination from what has been announced.  Maybe, just maybe, Best Buy will listen and insure they carry the products we want.
    My vote goes to:
    PHONE = Samsung Galaxy Note LTE (unlocked - carrier independent)
    TABLET/ULTRABOOK/LAPTOP = Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 with Windows 8 and its’ IPS touch screen
    (Posted this in the Cell Phone AND Tablet forums)

    Blackberry 9810
    efficient keyboard for quick access to functions.  How many other phones have 26 quick keys to dial a number? 
    convenient one handed operation on the bus because it has a trackpad
    great battery life with the slower processor
    user replaceable battery.  You can change a battery for the cost of a good dinner.  Other phones have sealed batteries that force you to get a hair dry to rip the battery out.  Basically they force you to get a new phone....SCAM
    durability..... seen too many cracked Apple screens.  Takes a lot of punishment without needing a THICK "bumper"
    brightness.... notice how dim iPhone screens are on bus compared to other phones?
    data compression.... doesn't  rack up my data plan.  Doesn't have Siri.  Blackberry uses 1/3 or 1/6 the data compared to other phones.  Very important, especially when travelling
    BBM saves me money when texting with other international BBM users.
    the 9810 sliding mechanism means the phone is compact when not used, but grows in size when needed
    the 9810 keyboard does not shrink my viewing area when I'm typing
    Blackberry Playbook
    plays flash websites.... i got tired of Apple forcing websites to create an App to work (scam)
    fits in my purse and pocket
    dual speakers without a dock..... it's amazing the audio quality
    stereo microphones
    smart bezel where the frame is an added touchpad functionality
    With the upcoming OS update next month, Blackberries can take remote control of the Playbook tablet.... HOT as the phone keyboard can be used as Playbook tablet keyboard and phone screen become a mouse!

  • Xperia Z3v Head Phone Jack Cover

    Just curious if any one of you had dipped your Xperia Z3v in water....On sonymobile.com it says that make sure all the ports are closed, but the phone did not come with a head phone jack cover.  Does that mean it is already waterproof?  I examined all the photos avaiable on sonymobile.com and none of the pictures showing the phone under water had the head phone jack covered.  Any feed back (from Sony) would be appreciated!  Thanks for reading
