[Elecraft] K3 - Line In problem

I was hoping to not have to hit the reflector with this but so far, I'm 
at a standstill and Sweepstakes Phone is next weekend.  I'm not a good 
phone op, my voice doesn't last, so I need to have N1MM do the 
repetitive talking for me.  I have N1MM configured, and it talks on the 
computer's Line Out if I plug stereo headphones into the computer Line 
Out [I hear it in both ears].  It also keys the radio just fine.

All I hear from the K3 monitor in my headphones is the room noise picked 
up by the boom mic.  Nothing from the computer and no output to the 
dummy load.  If I talk, the K3 works just fine, but nothing from the 
computer.  K3 Line In is labeled MONO, but I've been told it is really a 
stereo jack and needs audio on the left channel.  I've tried a stereo 
plug and a stereo-->mono adapter.  So far, no joy.

I've set the CONFIG:MIC+LIN to ON.  I use the rear panel mic jack with 
my K2 Proset, and it works just fine.  What am I missing here?
