If you plug the auxiliary into your computer and no matter what you try, it doesn't work, it's likely because the jack is a headphone jack. You would need an external thing with a dedicated microphone jack. This happened to me, I tried different settings but nothing worked. Eventually I tried this dock thing that has extra ports, including a microphone jack and a headphone jack. I plugged the cable into the microphone jack and it worked. You can also quickly test to see if you have the right microphone setting by tapping on the speaker. If the microphone noise level meter goes up (after you have clicked it to make it start monitoring), then it is on the correct setting.
I'm guessing the use of a random speaker in your method is to work as a "microphone" to primarily pick up what the speaker itself reproduces? Overall, this seems to be a very hacky and unnecessary approach to ripping audio and I suspect this can easily cause clipping and/or frequency response differences that aren't present in the original audio, not to mention the _potential_ of input voltage overload+damage if you're unlucky, if you pair this with sensitive gear or this is otherwise done incorrectly. Here's a method that I use that's even more foolproof than this. Buy a *speaker-level to line output converter* and use it to connect one end to the speaker output terminals of the device, and a RCA to 3.5mm cable to connect it to a line-in or microphone input of a PC/recorder. Set the input level settings correctly and you'll get a decently hot signal without any distortion or significant noisefloor issues caused by the recording device. I've tried this with a Hallmark Candy Cane Lane Ornament and what I got was what sounds like a perfect and undistorted representation of the audio signal coming from the ornament itself. I've also used it with exposed speaker terminals from my school intercom and even a tamagotchi connection toy with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend this method for anyone wanting to do this.
I have a question, so I have the Gemmy jazz band sound bored, I want to do what you did but as you know, speakers typically need power to run, so that worries me that if I do what you did. It would short out my computer because powers going into the aux
This isn't a worry, it's like plugging in mirophones they send in small electronical pulses which is how audio will work. It's not a worry trust me i've seen people do this with lifesizes
@@chasetheinflatablegod If you'd like a much simpler way to do this that might work even better and is guaranteed to be safe, check out my comment for a foolproof method that I used
I have a way easier way to do this!!! Use a aux cord plug it in the computer. Hook 2 alligator clips on the end of the aux cord. On the end of the alligator clips clip them both on the speaker and done!
I’m very happy that you finally showed how to do this so thanks it’s gonna be fun ripping some audio on items

Thanks for the tutorial. You'll be missed.

Thank you
No problem, I've edited my original comment for clarity. Feel free to try this out yourself and let me know how it goes, cheers!
Thanks for the video
Good tips bro
