I don't recall any iMacs prior to the G5 units  having external 
microphone/audio ports

assume you have checked that the mic  preferences in both system (and/or 
control panels if
in 
classic) and in the application match as internal mic?

failing that a USB mic should work or a standard mic through USB audio in/out 
unit like
the iMic 
(I have a spare iMic one you could try and/or buy) I only had hit and miss 
success with
generic PC 
shop USB mics on classic though and have never tried them on OSX

external microphone plugged in for some uses. I've tried a couple of 
microphones from
other equipment which could be inserted into the external microphone slot, but 
neither
worked well or at all.
