Input microphone not working for skype on mac Bluetooth#

Finally I came here read about the Line In is not the same as Mic In.ДЄnd then in a stroke of genius I hooked up my bluetooth headset to my mac mini and it worked like a proverbial charm. Wow, I tried last year and earlier this year and again today. Perhaps they though if most people are now buying monitors with built in cameras and mics that work over USB so a line input would be more useful? If there is some technical reason they canвЂ™t easily add both line and mic inputs, I think more people would benefit form a mic input. Apple should do the same on their inputs. The iMic has a switch to go between line level and mic level which works great. I think it would be nice if the input was switchable, but the line level makes sense if you connect in a home media center etc.

Input microphone not working for skype on mac Pc#

Damn it, I have a good stereo already connected to my PC at work, why should I have to go out and pay another $200 for some crappy 3вЂі speakers just so I can listen to tunes and podcasts from my phone while I work without the ear buds. Why take this function away on the more expensive player? The only reason I can think of it to make you want to go out and buy a dock for the phone to play back on real speakers. With an iPod, you can play back media from the pod using iTunes, but not with the iPhone.

ItвЂ™s like media playback through your PC/iTunes with the iPhone and iPod. You pay a premium price over a regular PC, and you keep having to pay for extras to get basic functions.ДЄpart from this annoyance and the crippled Intel integrated video card though I love my mini 8)

ItвЂ™s the little things that keep biting with Macs. Laptops manage it, even if they have in-built microphones. Well that is just dumb! WTF could they not just have a normal mic-in like everyone else on the frakkin planet. All in all very pleased with the very quiet little box.

Input microphone not working for skype on mac update#

But I also had a problem with a earlier web cam until the last maccam update that has way more cameraвЂ™s that it works with. I have approx 8 that wonвЂ™t work and zero that do.

Joe Sabourin | August 26th, 2008 at 2:16 amД«eing a very recent PC convert to the mac world I find it very strange apple would use a harder way to get the sound to work with just about any microphone than to have the purchaser go out and get a more expensive mic or imic adapter or a usb mic when most people probably already have more than one plain old mic in a drawer somewhere. I suggest to use a USB headset with MIc or USB mic MAC should provide an option to connect with normal mic you can connect your audio deviceвЂ™s aLine in to this port or use an amplified mic ( Analog Mic with amplified signal) This Port is not for an ordinary microphone or Headphone with mic.

This was very useful!ДЄSSAUMDED | January 31st, 2008 at 10:36 amД§. Thanks a lot, i actually spent 30 min on the phone with a mac-expert (swedish store) trying to solve the problem of connecting a regular mic to the line-in in a mac mini and at the end he said he would call me back cuz he couldnвЂ™t figure out what was wrong It happened the same with my macbook and after three phone calls to the store i gave up. Skype wirelessвЂ¦geee, sounds really good ! Well thanks for sharing, this reconciled me with my mini.ДЄlthough USB headset or imic might work perfectly, i would consider a bluetooth headset directly if you have bluetooth on your mini (you probably have it At least itвЂ™s better than buying a mixer or something.Д¤. IвЂ™ve got the same problem so I think thatвЂ™s what IвЂ™m going to try. If you have a PC nearby you could (IвЂ™m just guessing) connect your mic to it and go out from it to the mac. have beeen a mac user since 1984 вЂ“ never a problem - still not a problem now that I know whatвЂ™s going on!ДЈ. They (these are mac techs no less!) replaced the mother board and a number of other parts & finally learned about the usb requirement! WeвЂ™re off to get a logitech usb mic now - thought for a while there that we had our first mac lemon. We just had our new mac mini the the shop for a week. I even sent back a Logitech headset that I purchased from Amazon thinking it was a defected product. I always wondered if my Mac Mini was broken.
