Please log in for more thread options correct? I would like to connect a monophonic audio signal to the line input of my soundcard. Is it OK to leave one of the two stereo contacts left/right open? Or should the monophonic audio signal be connected directly to both? The physical connection/soldering stuff is not a problem. Thank you. | |||||||||||||

Or >should the monophonic audio signal be connected directly to both? It is usually okay to connect one output to two inputs, but the reverse is wrong, unless buffering is used. Some minor impedance matching issues may be encountered. Tom >
