I believe that these will not match the Line In on my PC


I think the signal may be too great and that it needs attenuating.


Am I right? Can this be done and how precisely may I achieve this. I
have no problem using a soldering iron


Wire the track of a 100k pot across the output, and the slider and ground
to the input. Adjust to taste. You'll have to fiddle with the LS level to
get the best results, but start about half way.
