[RESPONDED] How can I use the new Audio Expansion Card for Stereo-Line-In?

This device seems adequate. I will have a deeper look on it.

Thank you!

I bought one of these several years ago to use at a party I was DJā€™ing at. Iā€™m not a DJ, its just the proper DJ wanted to charge Ā£250 for the night and we didnt have the funds so I created a 6 hour 70ā€™s 80ā€™s pop/disco tunes list on Spotify, pulled the crossfade to max and used this to hook up to the PA system. Hit shuffle play and away it went all night. DJā€™s are overrated!

It had far cleaner and more powerful output than the built in Dell audio, not to mention it was far eaiser using the RCA sockets. Itā€™s spot on for Red Book standard audio which in 99.99% of cases is all thatā€™s needed.

A handy bit of kit to have.

I bought one, and I am happy. It does what I need it for.

Thank you Dino and Jason!

Any updates on this? Do we have a definitive answer whether the audio expansion card can do stereo microphone input?

Somewhere here or on Frameworkā€™s subreddit that the audio card is output only. The only input is the mono microphone (TRRS I think)

A definitive answer, as in, one from Framework staff, or someone getting stereo input to work?

I can say at least that I havenā€™t come across either here on the forum. Iā€™m not active on the Framework subreddit.

This is the chip used

I thought I saw a datasheet available, but Iā€™m not turning up anything now. Maybe what I had seen was for a related chip.
