Can this USB audio adapter be used to simulate line-in for computers that do not have line-in?

I don't believe so. This is not intended to be a sound card replacement; it just combines the functions of the audio jacks to a USB port.

Not unless you have a line level device that has a variable output so it can be reduced enough not to overdrive the mic level input of the usb adapter. I am using a mixer that has line and mic level output and I'm using the mic level output to go into the usb adapter. I have used an mp3 player turned down to about 5 (1-off and 35-max) with no distortion or other artifacts. That is something that I was looking for in the beginning but these $5.00 items just don't have that much capability.

I am not sure about this. I always assumed that it used the phono port for the line out and the usb was only for power. I bet that it is only for power, but maybe I might try the usb as the audio line out and update my answer. I doubt it will work though.

No, it works as a stand alone amp simulator with FX, but has the advantage of using a computer via USB 2.0 cable to download new sounds, software updates and use a editor/librarian for organization.

Having this adapter does not change the way sound goes in or comes out of the computer. It's just one way to hook up a mic and headphone.

As long as you have separate microphone-in and headphone jacks or a usb adaptor that has both the the line-in and line-out jacks, I dont see why not...

Yeah, I guess, but it seems overly complicated, and unnecessary. I'll assume you want to track both the USB signal, and once you go through all that stereo adapter business, your gonna run it into the computers headphone/mic input? Then you have to convince your computer to record both the USB signal, and the now degraded signal coming from the 1/4" TS to 1/8" TRS Y adapter input simultaneously. If you can do it than you can do it but why not simply duplicate the stereo USB tracks in your DAW?

This isn't for connecting to a computer, it's only phantom power used for special microphones that require power. You are looking for something like the PreSonus AudioBox USB 2x2 USB Recording Interface.

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

If the controller for the computer surround has a toslink input, then yes you can use this.

they were showing the two different jack options...either a mini jack or usb can be used with the line-out jack

Absolutely! The sound (both the MP3 you input and the keyboard voices you are playing) will come through the onboard speakers and/or the line-out.

Hi Buck, No, it doesn't have a line-in port. Only a headphone port which of course will work for line out.

Hello: I'm using this adapter for a completely different application, i.e. transcription pedal. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you...

Without a phono input, my understanding is that you would need a line level adapter.

once you load the Lexicon drivers, the computer sees it as any sort of input/output audio device, so it will. I use it on Audacity (freeware program) all the time

Only if your microphone also has an XLR option. There is only the USB connection to the computer not any for USB microphones

Yes, but connecting two outputs doesn't do you any good... Maybe try connecting it to the line in on a computer.
