Would Audacity need to be set to microphone in that case?

E eternalpayn New member Feb 11, 2009 #24 Yeah, whenever I use Audacity through the line in I need to use Microphone. Line in registers as the headphone output on mine.

E eternalpayn New member Feb 11, 2009 #26 Oh, alright. I thought maybe it did since my 58 did, but it's also 20+ years old.
