    Record headphone output through mic input

    Is it possible to connect a 3.5mm audio cable from a device without headphone output to a laptop with combined mic input/headphone output jack in order to record the output from the device? I have been trying with pavucontrol and audacity with a tape player connected to my laptop. But when I select microphone in pavucontrol, it shows "unplugged" and it doesn't pick up anything from the tape player. And audacity is able to record from the laptop's microphone, but not from the line-in. Is there something I need to do to set it the jack as line-in?

    combined mic input/headphone output jack requires a "Y" split adapter.
