Greetings,
I just bought a new system. It has integrated sound on the Mother
Board. There is a jack marked "spk" (obviously the speaker jack). But
the manual refers to that jack as "line-out" I was always under the
impression (just an assumption) that "line-out" and the speaker jack
put out completly different voltage levels (and we know how dangerous
it could be to plug things into the wrong voltage levels).
Thr voltage levels for line out and speaker outputs on PC cards are very
similar. The only real difference is the load they can drive. Any output
that can drive a speaker can easily drive a line input load.
