Retrofit line-in?

I have a Tascam DR-05 (without X). This mic has a line-out jack. On the PC, I can simply plug it into the line-in jack and it works. But there's only a four-pin combination socket on the laptop, I think it can't do a line-in (improves me if I'm wrong).

So I thought of an external USB sound card. However, this is a question of price. I don't need absolute hi-fi sound, but it should sound pretty good.

Unfortunately I have no idea which sound card I need there

Something like that: https://amzn. To / 2x3YMho
Or do I need this: https://amzn. To / 2U18QAZ
Or do I even need this: https://amzn. To / 33rXHw3
Or something completely different?

ATTENTION - There's a space in the links, because I can only insert one link… Just copy / paste and then the space is gone.

I know these are all very cheap options, but is that enough?

Keioner goes from the links.

Read what is underneath.

Why don't you take out the memory card and insert it into a card reader? And do you copy the files to the computer? Or does it connect via USB?

The third option, if you still want to connect it anyway, would be an adapter that splits the 4-pin socket into the input and output.

Maybe another time.

Thank you for your answer. I want to use the microphone for Skype conversations etc., so it falls out with the memory card. Could you recommend using an adapter? Or does one of the adapters I suggested work?
