Math, I have now ordered Behringer UFO202. For me this audio usb interface looks to be improved beyond UCA202 Line-IN for tape players to cover also turntables with a switchable Phono preamp. There was however expressed some doubt thought in a previous Mint forum reply (reply)

Terje, I found out which USB grabber I was using. It was the Basetech EasyCap BT116; the same device might well have been sold under a different name. On Windows, VLC gave a lot of errors, but OBS handled it fine. It only handled standard SD format, not HD, so output is alwasy 4:3 . But for me

The UFO202 is the UCA2020 with built-in phono preamp. Its inputs can be switched between phone and line. I do not know how good that pre-amp is, but Behringer in general has excellent value for money. Audacity can record audio, it uses an internal 32 bit floating point format by default, which

The Realtec ALC892 audi chip used on your (and may other) motherboards have for input two stereo A/D converters, which can do 16/20/24-bit, and 44.1k/48k/96k/192kHz sample rates. Because the analog front end is specified as 90 dB(A), and 16 bits in itself is 96 dB, there is little point in using

Your MSI Z170-A PRO motherboard has according to specs a Realtec AL892 audio chip. The input converters should have 90 dB S/N (signal-to- noise) ratio (A-weighted), but of course the motherboard might make it a little worse. However, from you record player of tape you will be very lucky to get
