Headsets are used primarily by online gamers and people who want to Skype. The purpose of the combo jack is to accommodate a headset (see definition earlier in this thread). The combo jack (audio port) that Dell is now using is basically the same type that was originally meant for smart phones. But at least I could record with that one!! And that's by far the main thing I wanted to use the laptop for, so now I have a totally useless bit of kit, as far as I am concerned."Īt some point Dell lost interest in customers who use a laptop for regular audio purposes, such as digitizing records and tapes.

Bottom line is that if you are not using a TRRS plug then there is no audio input into the jack - no physical only bought the laptop as a reasonably priced one to replace my old one which was running Windows Vista. However if you google TRRS plug you can find explanations with diagrams that should help. It would easier if I could include images in these threads, but the Dell forum has recently made some basic changes that have denied me permission to post images. I'm sorry that my explanation of why that is so was too technical.

Is the only solution to try and get a USB to stereo phono lead and hope that works? Trouble is, the signal from the amplifier (or direct from my normal turntable) is analog - will the USB connector deal with this?Ĭheers and thanks in advance for any further advice you might be able to software I wanted to use (Vinyl Studio) has options to select the input device and I have of course set this to the stereo jack.
But at least I could record with that one!! And that's by far the main thing I wanted to use the laptop for, so now I have a totally useless bit of kit, as far as I am concerned. I am really p****d off with this, because I only bought the laptop as a reasonably priced one to replace my old one which was running Windows Vista. The software I wanted to use (Vinyl Studio) has options to select the input device and I have of course set this to the stereo jack. So I can only assume that the socket will not accept an incoming signal - at least, I cannot see any way of getting it to do this. I connected my Ipod to the jack socket and then checked the box again, clicked play on the iPod but no sound came out. This just led to horrible high-pitched feedback which could only be stopped by unchecking the box. Properties, Listen tab does have a tick box that says 'Listen to this device' which was unchecked, so I checked it and clicked Apply. I have also looked at the properties of the in-built Realtek Stereo audio jack, which I assume is the input socket I am trying to use. Again, the only recording device it seems able to accept is the built-in microphone - useless to me!! I have got Waves Maxxaudio Pro pre-installed on the laptop and there is nothing on there to change any settings.
