I have found that it works best to have the cord pulled half-way out of the synthesizer. It must have to do with having a stereo jack at the synthesizer end, and you can get an adapter, but pulling it half way out works fine for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hallenbeck" <chuckh@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup Distribution List" <speakup at speech.braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 2:27 PM Subject: patching synthesizer to sound card Hi gang, Some of you are piping output from your speech synthesizer into your sound card. I tried unsuccessfully to do that with doubletalk external, using a patch cord from its headphone jack to "line in" on the sound card. The line in is alive and works well with other sources, and headphones work well in the headphone jack of the synth. But there is not the slightest trace of signal delivered to the sound card. What do I need to do to make this work? Is there a matching transformer of some kind required? If so, can you tell me exactly what I would need?
