I'm shopping for a new laptop. My current toshiba laptop's sound card (ymf754) lacks a line-in jack which results in badly overdriven audio at even the lowest mixer setting when doing such things as transferring lp's to cd's.
There seem to be very few notebooks which have a line-in jack, but more which list a combination mic-in/line-in. For instance, the acer aspire 1520 and the asus Z9000 both seem to sport this feature. Do these ports automatically detect the line level and self adjust? Is it purely a hardware feature or is special support in linux required? I'm clearly no audio engineer and would appreciate the guidance of others. -- Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
