It is common for modern laptops and perhaps PCs to use the same socket for
line level and mic level inputs, depending on how the settings are in the
volume control application, or sound card software.
Having said that, please don't ask me for instructions on where to find
these settings, as I am running Windows 7 and haven't had to do this for
quite some time.
Also, The cables that reduce line level to mic level are sometimes called
Attenuation cables.

Julie,
There are cables that have resistors built into them that can
be used to feed a line level signal into a microphone socket.
It's been my experience that sometimes they work well and
other times they do not. You might try to find one at an
electronics store before purchasing a new sound card. In the
U.S. they cost a couple of dollars.

Hi everyone
I am wanting to record via my laptop but it does not have a
dedicated line in socket, just a mike socket and headphone.
I assume that I would need an external soundcard with the
appropriate line in sockets, and to this end, I am hoping
that somebody would kindly recommend one and advise from
where this could be bought?
