I just bought a new HP Laptop and was going to write a sound recording
application to gain the programming experience. I discovered that the new
laptops are missing the "Line In" jack, I do not know why the manufacturers
removed it. I have a "Line Out" from a mixer that I want to record from. HP
said to use the "Mic" input. I tried that, but the impedance mismatch is so
great that it won't work. After all, a "Line Out" generates something like
one volt output signal and a microphone does not generate a voltage. I can't
imagine a company like HP telling me to try the "mic" input for a "Line"
signal.

Please, any ideas for a work around?

Thanks,
David Evennou
