Actually I think the problem is with the input on the computer line-in picking up noise from the motherboard (integral audio). I've also tried a USB sound device for input but it's really cheap so I don't think it's good enough.
I have been using my old Sony digital Walkman (decent quality mp3/wav player) and has been more successful than not. My old Lynx was quite volume sensitive I seem to recall.

Is there any chance of this core getting tape image support ?
I did all the tape-loading thing back in the 80s, I don't really want to do it in 2021.

What's the latest with this core? Is it official yet? I'm setting up retronas and trying to figure out the roms folder structure and naming to add the Camputers lynx collection to it.

Dropped 8 months back. Probably could do with a sys update looking at it, hasn't been updated since then.

No problem.
Please let me know with a post here if there are any issues or improvements to anything that was appearing after the initial release.
The folder name is "Lynx48".

I think so.
There is some good background information about this here:

Ah, yes, seems he was a proud Cambridge dweller.
"
The Lynx’s own origins go back to early 1981 when Richard Greenwood, founder of small Cambridge-based electronics design company GW Design Services (GWDS), decided to establish a second firm to make and sell microcomputers. It was called Camtronic Circuits, though it was later renamed Camputers."

I think it was a play on words. It was built in Cambridge in the UK hence Cam and Puter

Cambrigde Computers, Camputers ! xD
in the 80s Cambridge was the center of the world in computing, at least in Europe. Most and the best micros were born in Cambridge
