Hi. I did all that, then i googled and found that in a lot of cases these mics
don't do well with the line in ports, so i went and bought a usb mic. Now I
can have voice over going through the usb headset and music and stuff going
through the external speaker if i want. Yes, i have done this before with a pc
but I don't know the mac seems to handle it much more smoothly for some reason.
I can now chat on skype and it sounds pretty clear apparently.
thanks everyone for your help.
