| 174075 | 2003-09-09 05:22:00 | If you saw an item, sound card, stereo, PC or whatever and it had a socket on it that was said to be a "Line In" socket. Would you take that to be a stereo Line in or mono? |

| 174076 | 2003-09-09 05:29:00 | Depends totally on the device and the type of socket. If an RCA socket, it has to be mono. You have to have two (L and R) for stereo in which case your question would be redundant anyway. If it wasn't RCA then I be suspicous anyway, as to just what input it was. |

| 174077 | 2003-09-09 06:03:00 | Sorry, talking about 3.5" line-in sockets, like the ones on all sound cards, some stereos, some car stereos. | CYaBro (73) | ||

| 174079 | 2003-09-09 06:50:00 | I would read the product manual to find out. | andy (473) | ||
| 174080 | 2003-09-09 07:37:00 | I would like to assume that it was stereo, would also test it out to see what it was. | -=JM=- (16) | ||

| 174082 | 2003-09-09 21:19:00 | These days I would expect stereo. The same plug comes in mono and stereo but a third version with an additional "stripe" on the bayonet is used for cellphones to do the answer/hangup thing and god knows what else in other applications. Why do you ask? You don't know which it is or it's mono and you think it should be stereo? Test: connect mono sound to it and see if only one speaker goes. connect stereo and see if you are missing half the sound. robo. |

| 174084 | 2003-09-09 21:41:00 | The reason I ask is that on laptops they have almost always had a line in socket and that's always been stereo for as long as I can remember. Now, on the new Acer laptops they are only putting one socket on them and on the specs they say it is a Microphone / Line-in socket. Now for me, reading that, I see "Line-in" and being on a new laptop with a 16-bit soundcard, I think Stereo. Depending on how you have the recording volume set in Windows you can set it to be a Microphone or Line-in socket. EEEEHHH! Wrong!! It is only a Microphone socket and will only record mono! Setting the recording device in Windows to Line-in records nothing! Now, to me that seems a bit off, when on all their previous models the Line-in as been stereo (even though not stated in the specs) and now suddenly they are only mono (even though not stated in the specs) |
