use mic jack as line-in

[insert_name_here]

Long story short: I have a record player (yeah, like a phonograph) but no speakers. However, I do have a laptop with speakers. However, the laptop only has a mic jack and line-out (i.e. headphone) jack.

Is there some way I can set up the microphone jack to act as a line-in jack? In other words, is there some way I can plug the audio cord from the record player into the mic jack and have the audio come out of the laptop speakers?

Thanks

Try it , open the Volume control > Preferences> check all boxes capture, mic and input source,
Then check Volume Control> Record (if something is muted)
> Option (front mic or ??)
