No need of bias precludes using a MIC, so I tried by connecting a Line-in/out audio cable (a cable with a 3.5 mm audio jack on each end) fed from the PC and it worked, thanks. Originally, I had connected a head-phone mic directly to the audio-in port, which it seems, rather expects a dc-biased and/or a pre-amplified signal.
