Mike, that won't work. Remember, I was aware of doing things in that order,
but if I am using a mike that is not plugged right into the logic board via
8th inch, it simply won't do it. I do it like you say, and only get system
audio.

chris do the following:
1, hijack system audio
2, hijack your input source
3, highlight system audio
4. hit record (note system audio must be highlihgted in the source list
in order to get both when you "hit record")

OK, this is kind of odd. Has anyone noticed, that unless you plug an
actual microphone into the mike jack of the logicboard on your Mac, you
cannot! record both system audio as well as the mike? My quick silver
doesn't have a mike jack. Trust me, I had someone sighted look. It
doesn't. bottom line. So, I'm having to use a USB mike, which I have
ran through the USB port of my keyboard since on the tower, both my USB
ports are used up. That doesn't seem to pose a problem though. I made
sure that in system prefs the default input was my logitech u s b
headset, and it was. I also made sure it was turned up, and it was.
When I hijack it I am able to hear myself through the headset absolutely
flawlessly so I know that the mike got hijacked correctly.
I just can't get it to record both system audio and the default input at
the same time. I tried creating a brand new session and instead of
setting it up as default input, I literally set it for the u s b
headset. I could then high jack it and record my mike just fine, or I
could hi jack my system audio and record it just fine, but I couldn't
get them both. I did! try plugging the u s b headset straight into the
tower's u s b port with no luck. I also did make sure I highjacked
system audio, then the mike, then went back to system audio to record.
I had this exact same issue with my other power Mac G4 running Tiger.
The only difference was, with the older Mac, I fixed the problem, as
that system has an onboard 8th inch mike jack. No pre-amp in it, but
that's ok, the mike I used had one. So, with that system it worked
perfectly, but any u s b mike/ head set, forget it. Again, I can get one
or the other, but not both. I found this incredibly bazaar, and
wondered if anyone has seen this, and if so, do you know another app
that'll let me record speech and also my mike at the same time? I
really wanna make some demonstrations for a few people, but I kind a
like, can't? if I can't get this resolved. That's the main reason I
bought hijack too, so wow. What a waiste a $60 if I now can't use it
for that. O sure, for other recording things like Skype, etc. it works
wonderfully, but again, that wasn't the soul purpose why I got the
thing.
This is really strange, and frankly, I'd really love knowing if any yall
can reproduce this problem, and if so, if you find a work around without
using the onboard mike jack on the logic board, or the onboard mike on
the laptop or whatever, I'd be real interested with u s b interface how
in the bloody heck you got both to work.
