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
You could pick Line-in as your preferences sound input selection and
then use quicktime to make a new audio recording. If that fails to
produce audio in the recording then there is something wrong besides
just Skype. Could be most anything including a bad connector or cable.

Okay, I've never used QuickTime, and as I say, the mic works when assisted by
an amplifier--even one not designed for mics but for guitars.
