Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything on that page that said 'Specification' or anything like that, but it does show that the headset uses a pair of analog plugs & not a USB interface, so that much is no longer confusing me.

Why hasn't my attempts to run this mic through those 2 USB inputs worked?Īnd thanks for your attention on this I really do appreciate it. Line Level Input won't accept the analog? mic input from my headset because the mic's signal is not strong enough. and yes I changed the setting under System preferences, as well as the settings in the audio midi setup tool in the utilities folder.

What I said earlier.I plugged the mic into the 1/8' stereo mic input and the Mac mini still couldn't pick up the sound.

The M-Audio Pre is an external USB device designed to allow you to plug your guitar/voice/etc in and get audio into something like pro tools or garage band. This is the model headset I have.mine is about a year older, but it looks largely unchanged:Ĭlick on Specification half way down the page.

I tried contacting the headphone manufacturer, but they put me off telling me, basically if it works on a PC it's not their problem.Ĭan you recommend a good gaming heaset/mic combo that might work with the mac? I can't find anyone online that have any suggestions and I'm the end of my rope with making this current headset/mic work. I tried running it through the 3.5 stereo input on an older M-Audio Pre I have but that didn't work either. or does the mic need a boost of some kind to work with a mac even via a usb port? I bought a, Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Amigo II USB Sound Card & Headset Adapter, but that doesn't seem to work for the mic either which confuses me even more. I think you may be on to something with the line level comment-although I admit I'm not sure what the port is good for if I need to amplify every source I plug into it. It also just works on my current Windows PC laptop.

The headset/mic combo did not come with drivers and I never installed any when I used it on my old PC. Griffin iMic is another such device, at one time popular with Mac users. Some include both line level analog outputs that can be attached to any line input with appropriate cables & built-in USB interfaces to attach to the USB inputs of computers.īehringer, & many other companies make mic preamps with both analog & USB outputs commonly used for recording to computers, priced from as little as about $30 on up into the thousands, depending on the number of inputs & outputs they have & the accuracy of their components. Various mixers & other devices have preamps designed for use with microphones, many fitted with 3 pin 'XLR' jacks for use with pro & semi-pro mics as well as with 1/4' jacks for lower grade consumer ones. Guitar amps have built-in preamps, but they are not designed for microphones & produce poor results with them. About the only ones that don't are those intended for conventional microphones, guitar pickups, & phono cartridges, each of which generates a very weak signal that requires a specific type of pre-amplification to boost them to line level. The jacks on almost all analog audio devices operate at line level. 'Audio line in' refers to the 'line level' analog audio standard, perhaps the most widely supported audio standard in existence. For most of them, under the 'Audio' subheading, you will see a line that says, 'Combined optical digital audio input/audio line in (minijack).' You can find the tech specs for your Mac Mini model at
