[Elecraft] Line In jack and standard stereo cable

If I plug a standard stereo cable into the mono Line In jack on my K3, I 
assume that it will short one of the channels to ground.  In order to 
connect to the Line Out of a computer sound card, does this mean that I 
need to build a special cable with a mono plug on one end, connected 
only to the tip and shell conductors of the cable, letting the ring float?

Sorry to ask a question that must have been covered before, but I 
haven't found anything on this in the manual, and the archive of this 
reflector really isn't effectively searchable.
