Please can someone advise. I have a Griffin iMic and Audacity s/w. I
plug the Griffin into a USB port on my laptop, and the other end into
the speaker out port of the tape recorder. I set the Griffin to Line
or Mic. Then I start the tape recorder playing and turn the volume up
a tad. I then set Audacity to record using Stereo Mix or Line In or
iMic USB driver - yet nothing is captured. Please can someone advise.
Thanks - Chris Brady.

have you check that your soundcard is selected to pull in audio from the
imic

you would find this in properties or possibly control panel

Sounds like you haven't properly selected the sound
source to be recorded (a function of the operating system)

You will need to disclose what kind of a computer you are
using (Mac or PC?) and what operating system (version)
if you want any practical suggestions.

It should work, despite the fact that the Griffin iMic I tested was pretty
sad as a recording device. Poor noise and frequency response.

I plug the Griffin into a USB port on my
laptop, and the other end into the speaker out port of
the tape recorder.

The Griffen should be set for a line input.

I set the Griffin to Line or Mic.

Line input is the only one that will work, if at all.

Then I start the tape recorder playing and turn the volume up
a tad. I then set Audacity to record using Stereo Mix or
Line In or iMic USB driver - yet nothing is captured.

This should work. The record side of the iMic is probably not that much
worse-sounding than a cassette machine.

Please can someone advise. Thanks - Chris Brady.

You did something wrong, or something is broken. What you're trying to do
should work in a mediocre way.

With the mic plugged in, selecte Edit/Preferences and the Audio I/O tab
and check for recording devices. The iMic[1] may show up as a separate
device there.
