When I plug from a Casio keyboard output to the audio input/output jack with a male to male mini chord it detects the device not as an audio source, but as headphones. Is there way to override the system so that it accepts the audio input?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.6)
What system are you trying this on? This feature was removed in newer MBP's. If it is a 2012 model you would need to input your audio via USB.
OGELTHORPE didn't we just have this dance? 😝 Can I connect RCA cables to my new 13" macbook pro?
Frank Caggiano, greetings; Yes but the OS indicated suggests pre 2012. 🙂
Ciao.
Ah you're new enough that you still believe the OP's profiles. I remember when I was like that 😁
Of course if the OPs profile is correct and he is really running 10.5 the MB would probably be old enough to have both audio in and out.
Nothing to do but to wait for the OP to come back.

The instructions Caggiano posted do not correspond to my experience.
I was definitely in system preferences, sound, and there was no option for a manual override.
As I said, I did notice that it was detecting the input as headphones.
My MBP is indeed newer, so I am guessing that what Ogelthorpe says about the new system is correct.
Is there a mini to usb converter?
I must say I am surprised that Apple would decide to cut mini audio-in on newer computers.
What gives?
Making the bold assumption that you have a 2012 or newer 13" MBP, perhaps something like this may be needed:

I try to work with all of the facts that are available. Even when they are correct, I can still 'screw it up'. 😝

You'll need something liike iMic - USB Audio Interface - Griffin Technology to connect via USB.
It would be a good thing for you to update your profile, it still shows you as using 10.5.6. and is what confused OGELTHORPE in his first reply Also it will help you can better answers here when you ask a question if you include all the information in the first post. That is OS version, system type and date, etc.
good luck
regards
I updated my profile. Thanks for letting me know to do that.
Thanks both of you for the help.
