Title: Mic wont work Post by: Spanke on April 01, 2005, 11:12:19 pm is it because it's not self-powered? 10 dollar mic audio-in port
Title: Re: Mic wont work Post by: Civrock on April 01, 2005, 11:28:33 pm pretty much all audio-in mics/headsets don't work on Macs (incompatible port). you need a so-called iMic (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic) to make it work.

You can contact me on aim (voodoo3132) if you need some help. Otherwise I would spend a little more money and get a good USB mic/headset. Im sure there is someone here who can recommend a good one.
I personally use a cordless headset($100US) and a USB boom mic (logitech) $35US. Title: Re: Mic wont work Post by: Civrock on April 02, 2005, 12:05:46 am that's what the iMic does... it recognizes the audio-in mic (without iMic it doesnt get recognized by the mac) and makes it available in the system prefs because it kinda works like an adapter from audio-in to USB.
and yes... simply getting an USB mic respectively headset is the better (and probably cheaper also) choice in the first place. Title: Re: Mic wont work Post by: BTs_Mysterio on April 02, 2005, 04:06:51 am I have a iMic with a Plantronics Audio.90. I figured it was cheaper to replace the headsets when they break than it is to replace the USB ones. Much cheaper in fact.
34 for iMic + 35 for headset = $69 vs Same quality USB headset for $109 I find that the Audio.90 even sound better than the DSP 500. |
