Can't hear the microphone

Hi, I purchased a Speed Link USB microphone ( http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/676/883/-/5983672/SPEEDLINK-SL-8709-Pure-Voice-Micr ophone-II-USB/Product.html?searchtype=genre). In the system properties, the device is recognised and when I speak into it, the volume display changes accordingly. However, I can't hear my voice through the headphone output. I am able to hear other audio through the headphone output, such as music from iTunes.

This device also has output, and I can hear output through this device, just can't hear input.

Any ideas?

Cheers

You need to be running some application to copy the audio input to audio out. The simplest is LineIn.

I'm using a mic that is pluged in to an ozonic firewire Audio inter. I currently can't hear my voice through my phones but it does record, all this using GB. Will this link work and fix my phones issue?

Thanks

Select the track and turn on "Monitor" in the right column of Garage Band.
