OS-X will usually work with USB and FireWire mics without any problems. What kind of mic are you trying to use? IIRC the built in Speech Recognition on older B&W G3s does not recognize the built in mics forcing you to use a USB or FireWire mic for OS-X. (uh, Marta, IIRC means If I Recall Correctly).
I have used the iMic set-up without troubles but the same applies, the software you are using will allow or not the sound playback through the speakers (in OS-9 this is a software option that you are given access to). Try downloading QuickTime Broadcaster from Apple, it is free, and see if that helps. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ unless you are wanting to use only SR. Other voice recognition programs use the USB mics.
