Sometimes it is very difficult to get the volume on both correct so that you don't get a totally distorted recording on the PC. I have found that if the volume on the tape player is set low, and the volume on the sound card input is set to a medium level, it works the best. Takes a little time of trial and error to get it correct. And of course alot of patience.

On that note, the volume has to get close to zero or it will truncate bit depth of the digital recording. If you record and the volume is only at 48db you will essentially be making an 8 bit digital file once the volume is boosted. I don't know how important the quality is, but take that as you will.
I recommend boosting the signal at the tape player rather than the computer if it is of decent quality.
