I wonder if that's because it's a live digital audio stream and not
analog. As a USB device it shouldn't have any issues being plugged into
a USB cell phone charger port.

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.

Subject: a note on microphones for macs
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
