    I'm trying to plug in an old mini disc player to my T430s using a cable from the headphone jack on the mini disk player to the headphone/mic jack on the left side of my laptop. I checked my recording devices and I had the option of microphone which was picking up me talking so I assume that is a built in microphone on the laptop, or microphone 2 which said it was located on the left side of the laptop. I tried setting microphone 2 as the default input but it wouldn't let me, even after disabling the internal mic. I checked the Lenovo site and noticed that I did not have the Realtek Audio drivers installed, so I did that and now the only recording option I have in the list is the internal microphone.

    Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong with this, I've done plenty of work with audio devices on my desktop but this is the first time I've tried to make sense of the combo port on my laptop.

    Thanks
