Ok, I just bought this thing and it's not working at all. I tried connecting two different computers. What I'm I doing wrong?

The TP-8 is for recording a telephone call. The small end goes into the ear jack of your audio recorder and the soft end goes into your ear and you press record and make your phone call and you will record a phone call on to your recorder. I do not think it is meant for a computer.

I used it with a voice recorder and it worked fine. If you use it on a computer you need to run a program that will recognize it. Also it was over a year ago when I last used it. That's the best answer I can offer at this time. Hope it helps.

I tried it out only once and didn't have any sucess with it. contacted the seller and they suggested I try increasing the volume out somewhere on the recorder. I haven't tried that yet. Not much faith in that though but we'll see.

I have not tired using it with a computer. I use it with an Olympus digital voice recorder. Plug it into the mic jack and insert the ear bud in your ear, then hold your phone to your ear like a regular conversation. The phone speaker sound passes through the earbud and it records your voice and the person on the phone with you. I suppose if you are using the computer to record, it is the same process. I've just never done that.

I don't know about use on a computer. It works great on my Olympus digital recorder. Don't forget, your computer requires 2 separate jacks. One for audio out, and one for audio in. The TP8 is not designed that way. Hope this helps

Mine works fine. I just don't use it much. Not very comfortable. 2 different computers? It plugs into my Olympus recorder. It may draw current, so you may be trying an incompatible hookup. With the male plug on the end I can't see how you get a direct connection to a computer.

I use it with my Olympus Digital Voice Recorder...record the conversation [two way] once done I plug the Voice Recorder into the laptop and upload conversations to Drop Box...free online storage. Then I give access to those I want to share with. Especially nice recording stories of my fathers youth while he lives in FL and I am in TX...then share his voice recording with other family members.

We bought several of these for the express purpose of recording wiring instructions on computers.First of all, let's make sure it does what you think it does. It is a microphone that you put in your ear. It hears both sides of the conversation. That microphone needs to plug into something which records. your computer can do that with software, as long as you plug the microphone into a microphone jack on it. Windows comes with "Sound Recorder", or you can download Audacity or any of a bunch of other applications. You may need to open the microphone properties and set the volume and boost all the way up to get reasonable volume on the recording.

The TP-8 is for recording phone conversations while using a cell or land line. It is not made to record from a computer. The plug goes into an audio recorder, the ear piece goes into the ear you cover with your cell. The mic on the ear plug picks up the sounds from the caller on your cell phone as well as your voice.

Check for the latest driver or driver conflicts(remove any old drivers). USB cabling is a common issue too. Try checking another port and/or another PC.

As far as I'm concerned it doesn't do Anything. It never would connect with my computer

Hi there I could not get my Belkin to work. My problem was trying to connect it to a replacement main modem. I tried following all of the instructions I could find and nothing worked so I finally gave up and bought a Netgear modem. The Netgear modem works fine. I'm trying to find someone who perhaps is more computer savvy than me that I can give the Belken to. sorry I can't be more help

We had an issue connecting and maintaining our network connections. I'm not sure what the specs were but I ended up contacting Dell and with a few members we eventually rectified the problem. Recommendation? I would contact Dell if you have not already.

Here are some ideas:1.Your unit is not working. Replace.2. Device is not configured for DHCP.3. You are connected through local router/firewall, that blocks the port that device is using. Try to Disable firewall, or connect to cable modem directly. (Nowadays, cable modems also have firewalls. Check it as well.4. Your provider's DHCP settings somehow different from your devices? (never seen before, but possible)

Wilson, Sounds like you may have another problem. Can you transfer files with another cable? All the connectors at the other end should not pose a problem, but maybe your computer is confused by the cable. Make sure you have an MP3 player or something connected to it before you power up the computer. See if that works. I don't think the cable is the problem, however.

It shouldnt be.Check to make sure the driver is installed.They might have missed that. It should be under network connections.

You are probably having the same problem I was having, you made a bad purchase. I bought 3 of these and none of them worked.

Send it back. I haven't had any problems with the one I bought. Sorry yours doesn't work.

It's supposed to link up to the website which no longer exists or has moved. It's supposed to be plug and play. The company has no contact number and Amazon won't protect customers on this because it's a "Manufacturer issue". Me? I have 10 of these things laying around and we spent about $1000. No recourse what so ever. You are buying a paper-weight! If you by some miracle get yours to work, please email me.

I have not been able to get it to connect to my computer or anything else since I got it. I asked the seller, but they do not know.

That is how my computer is setup. Check to make sure that you have HDMI plugs on both devices.

I am having the same problem. It won't show up on my control panel and the computer won't detect it as a hardware device. I have some pretty important stuff on it too. I don't suppose you found out how to make it work since you posted this comment?

I think the ethernet cuts out when you plug in the usb, so don't think they both work together.

Mine is doing the same thing, and I can't get it to work, so now we have to get a external hard drive back up the old computerthen transfer to the new laptop windows 8, should not of bought this at all...waste of money.
