I'm trying to attach a microphone to a dual G5 2.3GHz thru the audio line-in jack on the back. It's a normal 3.5mm stereo mini-jack as far as I can tell. I have several microphones, an Apple monaural, an Aiwa mini stereo, etc. It's definitely NOT an old Apple mic that uses the longer jack plug, although perhaps Apple requires a "special" microphone with a "normal" plug now?
There seems to be some problem with the audio input. It's pretty much non-existent. I've tried many things already. I'm hoping someone on the list has had a similar experience and knows a solution. Things I've tried: Audio MIDI Setup to select and adjust sound input, the input volume is set to 1.0 (highest) and 12dB. Rogue Amoeba's LineIn app to "Pass Thru" sound input (shows VERY small input with either mic, but if I plug or unplug there is a spike so it appears the port is active, just not enough gain to register. Rogue Amoeba's SoundSource menu bar input/output preferences selection (works normally, and I DO have input from USB based sources when USB devices are selected, it's the "Line In" (built-in) that's non- fuctional). Cycling '74's Soundflower to redirect audio input and output source between applications. Seems to work, but again, no gain. These all seem to work normally, I suppose there could be a conflict of some sort? Any ideas, I'd like to get a microphone working if possible? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
