Actually, this board would fit into several categories, but I think this is the most relevant.
Well today has been one of the busiest and most technically complicated days I've had in a while, so i'm really needing some help. Well, the first problem
was a problem with the internet, which hopefully got resolved already. I host an internet show that did not go well, and was having some technical difficulties,
but by a replacement of the modem, I think i was able to solve the issue. However, my version of winamp had to be replaced, and I had gotten the wrong
version. Originally I was using version 5.52, which was working for me just fine. However, i was unable to locate that version again, and am now using
version 5.552, which seems to be going ok so far, though I'd like to be able to find the version I was using before if that is at all possible. However,
since I had to reinstall, I am unable to reset the broadcast plug-ins that I need for broadcast. If anyone knows anything about this, I would encourage you to contact me as some help with restarting my connections would be very much appreciated. Please forgive me if I'm not explaining myself
thoroughly, I am kind of stressed.
Also I am having some issues with my stereo, and need some advice on what to do. Before, I was able to hook my stereo up to my computer through the tape
deck, with the end of the tape adapter going into the headphone jack of my computer. Unfortunately, my tape deck is no longer responding, (I think the
motor is dead), so i need to find an alternative to using it. i tried using a headphone splitter, with the splitter going into my stereo, and another cable
that has two male ends, with one end connected to my computer, and the other into one end of the splitter. Then, I connected my headphones into the other
end, (I like to listen with headphones). I tried using two different splitters, and the first was either defected or it was the wrong one because I was
only hearing sound from the left ear. Then I tried my own splitter that I've had for a while, which worked perfect. Unfortunately, the sound is not loud
enough, i'm getting the volume from my computer, rather than the strong volume of my stereo. I can not play music outloud at all with this setup. I don't
know how else to accomplish this task without purchassing a new stereo, does anyone have any advice for me? Also if I do need to purchase one, I'd like
to do this as independently as possible, so if anyone knows how best to go about that, some advice on that would also be appreciated.
my next thing to do was to install a plugin to winamp called a dfx or something like that, does anyone know about this? It seems to work but I can't stop
that window from opening each time I open winamp.
SO those are all my technical issues, does anyone have advice on any of them?
Any help on any of these things would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, I'm not much help!
I would think you could google to find an older version of winamp, or maybe on the actual winamp website?
Good luck with all of these issues. Certainly nothing I know about. *smile*
www.filehippo.com is your one stop shop for all your free apps and utilites for your pc, and you can click on an app and browse through and download the latest version or an older version.
and why don't you just get some powerful speakers to connect to the computer instead of the hassle of going through the stereo? is there a reason you want to still go through the stereo. I know there are newer stereo's out there that have a usb port on them and your computer sees it as ausb audio device and can send the audio to it like it would any other sound card.
www.oldversions.com should be able to help with your winamp problem.

I'm sorry, this confuses me.
Why even plug your stereo in to your computer in the first place?
Then you stated that your motor is dead, yet you're able to hear your stereo, radio? I assume?
If you clarified this issue and state your objective I will try to help.
In general however
Test each component to isolate the issue by finding a reliable source to plug them in to.
Splitter:
Headphone:
Tape player:
Finally, if your out from your tape player going in to your in of the sound card, why not just use the computers headphone jack? hrm
or bettery yet skip the stereo and just get some powerful speakers that have headphones jack and you can use that volume control on the speaker to control the volume. or better yet a stereo with a USB connection as suggest above.
