Recording from cassette to laptop

[typingtroubles]

Hi there,

 

I am having trouble recording from a cassette player to my laptop (same setup works fine on my friends laptop and so it must be a setting or something on this particular laptop). I'm using audacity on a Sony Vaio VGN-BX195VP and whenever i try to record the recording comes out with a very loud fuzzing noise (on any volume). can anyone help at all? Many thanks :)

check to make sure all external speakers are away form the microphone you are using....

make sure the mic isnt on boost and full volume......

is it speach you are recording.....please give more info.........good to speak to you again
