On my new laptop there is a single 3.5mm connector that the sound card driver can re-configure as either mono mic-in or stereo speakers out. But I discovered that it is in fact a 4-way connector (ground, audio out left, right then mic in, as seen on the Android phones) so that you can have both mic and audio out at the same time. Yours is possibly the same. 73, John On Mon, Jun 11, 2012 at 7:20 PM, F4DLM <jimi.f4dlm@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > I bought last year an Asus eeePC (1015PX).
