Product: HP Pavillion Dv7 (A6X05UA)

I have been looking into recording musical instruments in my old laptop and while reading an article, it states to verify if your audio input could require Tip/Sleeve (TS) or a Tip/Ring/Sleeve (TRS) stereo cable. I couldn’t immediately find this on my manual. Is there someone that could provide this answer or how can I discover it myself?

I’ll be more specific, I’ve recorded my keyboard using a 1/4 to 1/8 converter and it records my keyboard pretty well, but when I tried my guitar, it had horrible noise. So I read in the article some jacks are ts and some are trs, wanted to find out if I had the wrong stereo jack. But if you think it’s better to go with a USB sound card, I can work with that.
