Line-in mic for new iMac.
I'm like 2-days new to mac-using so stay with me here.
I just got the new iMac 24" 2.4ghz.
I'm having a hard time getting my Logitech standard-in (non-USB) mic to work. The headphones work while plugged in, but the mic doesn't seem to be working. I can get the mic to work on my PC, but I don't have any other mics to try on this Mac.
Anyway: I go System Preferences-> Sound-> Input.
When the built in mic is selected the input level will display incoming sounds. But when I switch over to the line-in with my mic plugged into the line-in I get nothing. Do I maybe have to allow access for this jack to work?
My mic is not muted.
If it means anything: when I am unplugging the mic the input level will display some incoming sound, but only right after jacking-out (hehe). I was able to playback the sound that was being input and it just likes like a book was dropped on the floor. Not anything loud, just a short soft "thud".
I appreciate all ideas, thanks.
