I have to say that jblackwell brings up a very good point. This computer really DOES have a mono input doesn't it? The tech's response indicates that even someone who does not know the specifics would assume a stereo input! Stereo sound has been the standard since the 1960s. jblackwell makes the great point that the sound card is also set up to take a stereo signal in! WHY would HP eliminate the second 3.5mm input (maybe a dollar to build in) that would let the sound card do its full job?
Is it really true??
