Sounds like you might have a short somewhere. Mini jack should be stereo not mono, double check your wiring. I made mine and wired mine wrong the first time around with symptoms similar to yours. Make sure you are working in manual mode, under the custom options enable the mirror lock up. Make sure COM1 isn't being used by something else like the mouse. Laptops are limited with their resources. I had to use a usb to serial adapter to get a COM port that worked with my setup.
