Make sure you've got your tape player plugged into the Line In socket on your soundcard and not the Mic socket cos this will sound terrible.
Also, you may have your levels set too high which may make the sound distorted... Either turn the volume / output on your tape deck down or turn the recording levels down on the PC (go into the volume control, select recording properties and turn the Line In Level down). Hope this makes sense ??!
