We must be in different environments. My laptop as mic-in and line-out, but no line-in. Even the docking station omits this feature. > There are tons of USB sound cards with line/mic inputs. I didn't find that at all true, when I was looking recently. Most that I saw didn't claim line-in, just mic-in. In the end I went for this G-Star USB device, http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=97120 aka http://www.gstar.com.tw/pro-01.htm#ub003 ,which now states explicitly that it doesn't support Linux. Fortunately Linux supports its line-in capability, so I'm happy. Chris

Even the docking station omits this feature. Sorry, but why is "mic-in" not a "sound input device"? And with a capacitively coupled line out from the previous device-- whic his pertty standard-- the voltage on the micin should not be a problem. > > >> There are tons of USB sound cards with line/mic inputs. > > I didn't find that at all true, when I was looking recently.
