Hello everyone,
New to the forum and didnt know where else to post but i am having a real problem with my new laptop and recording audio for mixes.
Right the problem i am having is when i plug my audio cable, which is connected to my mixers master channels RCA input (Pioneer DJM700S), to my laptops mic/line in port the only audio that is recording into Audacity is from the mic input instead of the line in channel, i will leave a zippy link where you can preview the audio to hear what i am trying to explain(the link is a soundcloud player so no need to download)
Zippyshare.com - g.mp3
My laptop does not have a dedicated line in port, just a mic/headphone jack port together, the thing is my old laptop was the same it only had a mic input and a separate headphone jack but i watched a youtube tutorial on how to make your mic input act as line in for recording audio and it worked as dedicated line in from then on, the link to the youtube video is listed below for you.

The thing is i have set the settings on my new laptop the same way as explained in the video and my old laptop but the only recording i am getting is from my laptops mic input instead of the audio coming from my mixer? I have the exact same audacity settings in my new laptop and i am honestly stumped, i have searched so many different ways to fix it and i just cant figure out why it worked on my old laptop perfectly but it just wont work on my new laptop.
I am maybe wondering if there is a really obvious setting i am forgetting or something but for the life of me i can not remember if there was anything i did differently on my old laptop to what i am doing now, i remember watching the youtube video and it just worked.
If anyone here has any suggestions or knows of workarounds it would be really greatly appreciated...
My new Laptop is an ASUS X550C is that helps at all
Old laptop was a Samsung notebook i5 processor, 4gb RAM
Here is an example of perfect audio recorded on my old laptop from my soundcloud.
