I could not get it to work with audacity or Rocksmith on Windows 7. Fortunately I ordered Rocksmith with the cable and it works perfect.

Dont use the software it comes with. Let windows load its own. In Audacity click on the overdub and play through in preferences. You may also need to go to sounds in control panel and unmute it.

This item will work with an old old computer. Win98, get your money back, that item should no longer be sold.

I had problems with my mic on Windows 7. Works fine on Windows 8. There could be a ton of reasons though. You need it set as default in your sound setting and typically selected in the program you are using too. Also, if the mic boom is straight up, it turns the mic off.

Maybe...I never got it to work very well and I hate the software it comes with. Any reason not to just use the line-in jack on your sound card? Check out free Audacity software for the recording / editing. Be careful where you get it though, some links have been hijacked...

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

Just plug it in into the mike symbol on your computer. I had to turn the volume way up in order to hear what was being recorded.

Likely, you made a data CD (need to make an audio CD) as stated by previous poster. If not, record using a lower sampling rate WAV file.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

No it will not, also will not work with Windows 8. The driver installation keeps faling. Save your money and get the cable that comes with Rocksmith. Its more granted but your not spending you time trying to get this to work when you could be playing.

I plug it into the mic jack on my computer and record using software like Audacity. I presume you could plug it into any recording device with a microphone jack.

Hi Ruth, i honestly do not know. i used a program named cakewalk, (Sonar) and this allowed me to record the keyboard, guitar and vocals through an interface named m audio. it was fairly simple to setup and use, but the equipment, all together, was pricey.

I just bought it, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work. I'll write back if I ever learn how to get it to work. It's not worth having to send it back and wait. So, no- it does not work, accroding to MY experience. It is not recognized at all by my system no matter how I try to access or recognize it. It has zero directions for troubleshooting this issue.

I downloaded the trial to USB Audio Recorder Pro and it does indeed work with the mic HOWEVER you can only use the mic with this specific app... :'( Has anyone else figured this out?

This voice recorder does not seem to work very well with those Windows versions beyond XP. It did not work with Vista (at least when I tried to use it, a long while ago), and it may not work with Windows 8.

Yes, It works properly on windows 7/8With the latest driver and software (download it online), It will act as external / additional usb soundcard with High Quality sound.Include line-in cable will give you option to connect mixer or music instrument in It for recording purpose.So far I'm happy with It

Yes - the instructions are in English but not very good. Instructions do not say anything about downloading the software from the Audacity website if you have Win7.0 on the computer. We found that after searching on the Taotronics website. It will record for anywhere from about 2-5 minutes, then loses the connection to the player or something and the recording freezes. Will start back up if I cancel and restart, but then freezes again. I cannot believe that this thing does not need some kind of driver for it - computer loses communication with it every time we try to record a cassette. Have tried this on 2 different computers now and same problem on both computers. Yes - the instructions are in English but not very good.

It's a plugin and play BUT you need some software ~ if you're using skype you just have to set skype to use it in it's Optionsif you're using it for streams or recording you may want to look into Bandicam or Manycam Softwares
