First off, I know NOTHING about audio circuits, I have a long history with digital control electronics.

Now I have an application where a digital control board that I have built needs to "speak" to the operator and alert them of certain conditions. I purchased this; http://www.ebay.com/itm/ISD17240-Vo...974?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2322c1e9ae

Here is the datasheet: http://www.eimodule.com/download/ISD1700.pdf

The module has a built in mic and it works as expected, my micro controls it as expected as well.

Now, the question, I want to be able to record sound to the module directly from my computers audio out jack (headphone jack). Can I do this? If so what pins to I connect to? I plan to manually hold the record button on the module while the audio is being recorded so all I need is the ability to stream sound to the chip.

Thanks for any help!

 

The chip has an input for an electronic signal for recording and the module has a microphone input. The datasheet for the chip shows both.

If you feed your computer's audio to the microphone input then it must be attenuated.
