Re: [microsound] OT: I am stupid



hi ??

you broke your mic input because you fed it a line level signal......
that´s like pushing an elephant throgh a keyhole.

i´d recomend buying some sort of usb external soundcard. (one where
you can switch between line and mic level!)

I think I've broken the 'mic input' of my laptop by inputting my
guitar via the 'Output' socket of my guitar amp. Now the 'mic
input' doesn't output anything I plug into it and when I test the
hardware via Control Panel the recording volume slider goes
straight down, accompanied by volume spikes (e.g. the level
indicator shows a very loud sound coming and going every second or
so).

My laptop/sound card still plays music as well as before, as long
as I keep the 'Microphone' volume muted.

Any idea what my options are?

- Is it something that I can fix myself by downloading something?
- Is it a hardware problem that can easily (i.e. cheaply) be fixed
by an expert?
- Do I need to buy a new internal sound card?
- Should I buy a USB recording device?

I'd really like to record sounds again with my laptop... :-(

Sorry for being off-topic, but when you think about it this message
is about the aesthetics of failure... :-D
