| 282275 | 2004-10-18 02:59:00 | since my sound card's mic input is dead, i blew it i think a long time ago, only line-in works i'm trying to get skype to work but hav my voice go in through line-in rather than mic, which can't get any sound through is there a way to set it so the computer will think the line-in is mic? |

| 282276 | 2004-10-18 03:01:00 | I dont think so. Buy a cheap soundcard . | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 282277 | 2004-10-18 04:38:00 | to use 'line in' you'd need a little amp in the line between the mic and the line in plug...............the 'mic' plug has an inbuilt preamp......line in dont....... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 282278 | 2004-10-18 05:12:00 | Heni, The advice you've received is correct. As drcspy says the line & mic audio levels are very different. Apart from that, the mic soundcard socket provides a very small DC voltage to actuate the typical PC electret microphone. The linein does not. If you have damaged the soundcard, get a new one as suggested. |

| 282279 | 2004-10-18 05:13:00 | you will need a preamp of some sort to boost the signal from the mic to Line Level - DSE had a kit that ran off a 9V battery that I built and used years [ and years] ago which was fine , however looking at their site now it looks like that kit's about $16 and Ascent list a Genius basic sound-card for $24:30 .... Space may have hit the nail on the head ... | KatiMike (242) | ||
