*Depends on the laptop whether or not the Mic Input can be changed to a Line Input.

Check the ?Record Properties software mixer section for the soundcard and see if Line Input is listed.

But that does not guarantee that it has the hardware to switch the Mic to Stereo Line Input, you have to properly connect via a Y adaptor that converts the mini TRS plug to two channels. This can be done with an mp3-player-to-RCA-stereo Y cord, available at Radio Shack and other places like that.

*The internal soundcards in today's laptops boast pretty decent Playback converters these days due to the widespread interest in the playback of media such as DVDs. CDs, etc. on laptops -- BUT the input side is still a bit lacking in quality. For any serious recording of your stuff you should consider a good aftermarket sound device such as a USB sound device. The M-Audio Fast Track Pro comes to mind as a good solution that is known to work and play well with pgmusic products and won't break the bank account nor the sanity of the user. (For Live performance with BIAB I have found that most internal soundcards will work just fine, one less hassle on the gig... 0
