Windows 10: Capture audio from another computer via line-in

Something I have toyed with for years and never got quite right.

I usually have a laptop, and a full tower. I use Synergy to share keyboard, mouse and clipboard between the two.

Occasionally, it comes up that I have to swap headphones between the two devices.

In the past, I have tried linking the headphone jack on my laptop to the line in on my desktop. I can get it to work be enabling "listen to this" in the driver options for the input, but the sound quality is always garbage.

Without getting a external stereo mixer, is there a better way to achieve this?

Video and Audio Capture

I am using Windows 10 64 with latest update. I am using Cyberlink Power Director 15 and Honestech capture and production software. Last year the software worked just fine. Now I cannot capture any video/audio. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the
software. Immediate after I got video, but no audio. Then on retry, back to no audio or video. Is there a button in Windows that I need to select/change? I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Everything seems installed properly. I verified
signal input to the capture devices: convert VHS to USB signal. As I said I did get one video signal input.

 

Video and Audio Capture

Hi there DaleAllen4, I will be your Tech Helper for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

Sometimes Windows updates can mess up drivers that are properly working. What I can suggest first is to visit the hardware manufacturer's website to download the latest driver for the Audio and video, look out for each.

If that doesn't work please try completely removing the Audio and Video driver from the Device Manager. Here how to do it.

Here the steps to completely remove a Device off your computer.

Step 1. Use shortcut keys Win + X on Windows 10.

Step 2. Select Device Manager.

Step 3. Expand the entry. Right-click the problematic device and select Uninstall device.

Step 4. You may need to check the option Delete the driver software for this device, and then click the Uninstall button.

Step 5. Reboot the computer.

Hope this helps, Good luck!
