I'm running a MBP15 circa 2008, Mountain Lion and Skype. I use an external mic (a Sony ball and stick variety performance mic) connected to my line-in jack via 3.5-mm (1/8-inch) stereo plug with no adapters. Recently, Skype has stopped transmitting my mic, although it will work fine using the internal microphone. Unfortunately, people report that the internal mic sounds very distorted and bad for some reason, hence the external mic.
I have tested this mic on an amplifier, and it works just fine, so it appears that my line-in jack has stopped working, which I've never heard of, especially since this MBP sits on a shelf and never moves, so hasn't been damaged in any way physically. Is there something else I can to do test this line-in jack? I'm wondering if only Skype is having a problem, for some reason? I have had appalling results trying to get any recording software to work on the Mac, so while I have GB and Audacity and even Reaper, I can't seem to make them DO anything.
