I feel like this was the issue the LAST time it stopped working, too. 
No, the system does not have two mic jacks - at least, there is only one

I don't have a working kernel on mine at present, but if Tormen can't 
provide this info soon, I'll track one down and provide it. I expect 
that one of the latter two inputs must be bogus.
