Im using audacity, and ive tried with the windows recorded too. When i record, play something, and press play theres nothing. Ive tried both bass>amplifier>line out from amplifier to computers line in, and bass directly to computers line in. Anyone know why it doesnt work? All that happens is that i hear the bass through the computer speakers.

Here's a quick screen cap. Make sure that the settings are correct both in Windows Volume Control and in Audacity. You have to select microphone or line in for Audacity to know where the audio is coming from. Also, make sure that you go to Project - New Audio Track so that there is a track to record on.
Dont know how you got that big screen up, but it does say microphone. I also tried changing Recording and playback unit at preferences to the name of my soundcard, but nothing, nada. And yes, i msure iwas actually recording, cos there was a frequency bar thing and a line moving through,but it was flat.
Oh, yeah, everythings good there. But isnt that for playing only? The recording thing has only 3, Line-in, Microphone and some other, and Microfone is selected there too, so i dont know what the problem is. One update: When iwas wriggling on the contact while recording (the computer side), there was alot of cracklign,and that crackling appeared on the recording, but no bass. and i tried with both my contacts, one new, and one older, and same thing with both. Is the converter maybe bad ( to make the contact fit into the computer )? Man, kinda sucks. I once remembering succeding to record a while back on some other free program, but dont remember how, and the quality sucked. It was right through my squier.
I was having the same problems, but with Kristal. It seems that Kristal would only record from the line in, and not the mic line. My computer WAS set up for 2 sets of speakers, with one set using the line in line. I finally got it reconfigured by going to my control panel, and running through the CMI Audio Config. (I think that may be something particular to my motherboard, but hopefully yours has the same) Worked for me, hope it works for you
Sry, i did not fully understand that. Might be cos for me everything is in Swedish, but what is CMI? Ididnt find anything named CMI Audio Config.
There are 2 displays in the MS Windows volume screen...so when you open it, select File --> Options and check the RECORDING button. That will display the volume settings for RECORDING, not playback.
When I have trouble recording to PC via mike, I find that often my mike has been muted by some rogue software or unwanted system change...unchecking the MUTE option tends to sort it out alright for me, except then the mike is on all the time, but thats another problem for me to solve.
I find clicking Start Menu --> Help and Support is an excellent starting place to solving my Windows based problems...most can be sovled with a few descriptive words and some patience to sort through all the right answers getting to the one I need.
