- The SBPro has 3 jacks on the back of the card: Line, Mic, and Out, in order
- from the top of the card (where you fasten the bracket to the chassis). Simply
- connect the line out of your CD player to this jack. Then use SBP-MIX (or the
- Windows mixer) and adjust the volume of the line input until it's suitable.
- Then use VREC to record your sound. You won't get CD quality because
-
- a) The SBPro only can record 8 bits of data, and CDs use 14 or 16 (can't
- remember, but 14 seems right)
- b) The SBPro can only record stereo at 22.05kH, while CD audio is recorded at
- 44.1kHz.
