Either unplug or make sure the mic input is muted so you don't get anything 
from that source. unless of course that is what is desired.

  Thanks for this Triss.  I've found the separate line in socket by trial and 
  error.  Should I unplug the mike before recording from hifi?

  Most consumer soundcards have a separate line in a mic sockets.  The line in 
  socket should be used with a such items as a tape recorder or minidisc to 
  feed signals in whilst the mic should only be used with microphone sources. 
  This is because the mic socket is very much more snesitive and plugging in 
  something driving line level signal will very quickly go into distortion.

    I'm new to the business of recording onto the pc from another device.  Is
    the line in socket the same as the microphone socket or does it depend on
    the pc sound card, and whether it is or isn't the same, presumably you 
  have
    to unplug the microphone before you record from the hifi?  Would 
  appreciate
    your thoughts.
