I was wondering, it would be very handful if i could turn my microphone in to a second line out Is it possible to do that? not just parallell with the original line out; i mean a seperate second line out where i can send other sound trough, than the first one.

go buy a big expensive professional soundcard

impossible... and not only with soundcards but also impossible in every other audio equipment. The electronics are made that it is a line-in, you can't turn that around to a line-out if it wasn't forseen electronically like that.


PS: some trivia: A microphone is in essence a speaker turned inside out though (and vice versa). In a speaker, electrical signals are converted to motion of the membrane wich makes air moving which makes sound. In a microphone the reverse happens, moving air moves the membrane and this is converted into electrical signals. In other words you can use a microphone as a speaker (not much loud and big quality though ) But do not try this with an expensive microphone as you could damage the microphone; if you want to try this, do it with a cheap one...

Untrue. Realtek AC97 has a controller to change a line in to a line out. I just don't believe that you can have two different outputs.

Ah. Can you tell us what sound card you have?

My soundcard: soundmax integrated digital audio

According to the HP site soundmax is the driver for the ADI AC97 Integrated Digital Audio Controller.
Try updating the driver from the hp site.

Just put in your computer model into the search engine.
Then see if it has the ability to do line switching in the control panel.

If your computer isn't a HP then i'm way off .

EDIT: no new drivers available; didn't find an option to swap...
So i guess it's not possible then?

Yea it probably isn't possible then.
