An audio input circuit includes a single-ended signal input circuit, a differential signal input circuit, a first amplifier circuit, and a second amplifier circuit. The single-ended signal input circuit is enabled by switches in a single-ended mode to output a single-ended audio signal to the first amplifier circuit. The differential signal input circuit is enabled by switches in a differential mode to output a differential audio signal to the first amplifier circuit. The first amplifier circuit outputs an inverted audio output signal to the second amplifier circuit according to signals it received. The second amplifier circuit outputs a non-inverted audio output signal according to signals it received. In the single-ended and differential modes, the signals inputted to non-inverting inputs of the first and second amplifier circuits are DC signals to stabilize the on-resistance linearity of the switches and prevent the deterioration of the audio input circuit's total harmonic distortion.
