It does, but a much smaller one, typically 10mV. >I can't imagine a company like HP telling me to try the "mic" input for a "Line" >signal. It might work for a signal that can be turned down to a very low level, though. BTW, mic inputs are usually mono, while line inputs are stereo. What you need to do is put a resistive divider between the line signal and the mike to reduce the level. If you can't find someone able to do it for you, let me know and I'll describe it in detail.
