This (an unbalanced wiring) is the only sane solution for this kind of setup. Faked balanced input or real balanced input by using a transformer or what ever kind of cheap circuit won't help. After that it's possible to connect this mono signal to the left and right input, no de-coupling and no conversion is needed, but I anyway wouldn't do it. IMO the OP should record the unbalanced signal by the left or right channel only and split it to two mono signals by software, e.g. by jackd connections, assumed it should be needed. However, one issue still remains. Line input is not optimised for microphone output. Btw. I guess integrated consumer audio provides some kind of microphone input. It might be crappy, but likely better than any kind of connection to crappy line inputs. A cheap microphone pre-amp with line output might help when using mobo integrated audio too. For what purpose ever a measurement microphone might be good for, I doubt that usage with an on-board audio device makes much sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
