Give it a try, it doesn't hurt but just remember most, if not all, mike input are monaural whereas the line input are usually stereo. So make sure to use the proper plug/s.
hi,
I have a friend with a notebook running xp, she wants to convert some tapes to CD. I explained the process but she only has a mic input, no line level input. can we just turn the volume way down on mic input for inputting the analog signal? - fj
