Im not sure of your whole configuration but i have done this before by plugging one end into my keyboard and the other end into the microphone input on the back of my computer then using audiocity (I might have messed up the name, it was something like that) to record from the mic input

the chord you're using is mono, it the adapter you're using also mono? the reason is the input on the computer is stereo, so you must use a mono to stereo adapter because a streo adapter is grounding out the signal.
