I'm not sure if this is only on my Blue Eyeball, if mine got fried a little bit
being accidentally plugged into my cell phone charger, or the way Blue designed
it, but 100 percent is the only recording level. If I moved it to 0 as I was
talking into it, it did absolutely nothing on either my Windows desktop, Snow
Leopard on the Mac, or boot camped Windows on the Macbook. I know you can
usually uncheck a box in the sound preferences or volume control that will make
only silence record from the mic source, essentially muting it, but if I
continued to talk on mute, my voice got picked up at full level also. My old
plantronics headset allows level variability and the ability to keep other
software recording while it's unselected and it really silences, so it must be
this eyeball mic some how.

Hi all,
I just made a discovery that I really wish someone had shared with me
earlier. Apparently, Macs use a different microphone input than most other PC
sound cards. This means that the standard, non line-quality microphone you may
have, as I do, will not work with a Mac's microphone jack. You either need a
converter, a microphone that is certified to work with Macs, or a USB
microphone. This also explains why Windows sees only a line-in jack for audio
input in addition to digital audio.
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from BrailleNote
