A lot because they _tried_ to make things easier by implementing
autosense, so the drivers and hardware between them automatically
detected what you plugged in, including especially whether that was an
input or an output. (Cynics could also say that that was done to reduce
the number of sockets.) Last time (not recently) I played with sound
setup software (I agree, done by someone on something - particularly
irritating to me as part of what I do is set it up for my blind friends;
too much of it is graphic only, so I have to do it for them), I _think_
it was possible to override the autosense and _tell_ it what you had
connected to each socket, but I have the feeling that it creeps back,
especially with "up"grades (including the ordinary Windows ones - though
I've just noticed this is in the XP 'group only).
