I recieved my Macbook Pro as a gift from my parents on Christmas in 2011. When a friend and I tried to record ourselves using a microphone, we knew we would have to change the audio output, using my laptop. I then realized I have no such thing. Is there anything I can do? like do a trade of some kind or am I just stuck without thr Audio In Port?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Joe,
Is it a 13" Mac Book Pro?
I have a 13" 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Book Pro.
It has a single audio port that can function for both input and output. In System Preferences>Sound>Input there is a drop down menu to choose to use the audio port for Input or Output.
Alternatively, I don't see why you couldn't use a USB microphone as well.

I'm guessing you have a 13" Late 2011 MacBook Pro. That has a single audio port which doubles as input and output. See page 24 and page 54 of the user's guide:

If you need to use an external microphone and also have audio output, you'll need a USB audio device such as the Griffin iMic.
Regards.
My Macbook Pro doesn't have a Audio In Port. why is this? I thought it was standard to come with such a thing.
