Alas, while the video was ok, I got no sound at all from the webcam's
microphone; so it appears the line input in my G5 is faulty.
When connected to a Windows PC, the webcam worked fine with both video and

I believe all the PPC Macs used the Plaintalk microphone which isn't the same as a normal mic. You can create a universal adapter from a Plaintalk mic so that normal mics will work. <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/audio/plaintalk_mic_conversion/plaintalk_mic_conversion.html >
