I am using the LINE IN jack for recording (of phone line audio). Perhaps a graphic will illustrate it better. /--- LEFT --- Line 1 Phone patch LINE IN JACK: <==== \--- RIGHT--- Line 2 Phone patch LINE OUT JACK:====> AT&T MERLIN PHONE SYSTEM [music-on-hold] So I guess if I'm using the LINE IN jack on a PC for recording, I will always get some of that mixed into the LINE OUT audio? In my application, I would have preferred these to be isolated so that the audio arriving into LINE IN would never be mixed into the LINE OUT audio, but I guess this can't be done.
