I believe that you need a special microphone for a Mac mini. I tried several headsets and none of them worked either. You get output but no input. I also tried a microphone from an old cassette deck and it did work. The microphone jack is a little longer than that on a headset.
Instead of buying a headset with the longer microphone jack, I just bought a USB headset. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Grossman" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 5:34 PM Subject: Microphone >I have a headphone/microphone combination headset with two male jacks.
