NO stereo with line in ??
Well now I've discovered my new samsung laptop is only mono line in :-(
Is there such a thing as a 3.5mm stereo to USB adapter for stereo input from a radio etc ? I'm in the UK. 3.5mm stereo - USB 2.0 adapter would be great Is this the case now with cheapo laptops that they can't even add stereo to line in ?! |

Sounds like the MIC input, and not the AUX or Line In.

I have had surprisingly good results with a cheap USB Creative Sound Blaster. You probably get a tetter A/D+D/A and a better headphone amp, althought they are not state-of-the-art to any standard. This is something similar to what I have: http://www.soundblaster.com/products/digitalmusicLX/, the model I bought is out of date by now. Per. |

If you have a Firewire port, consider using that instead - you'll have a better choice of product. |
