I don't have a usb sound device to test with, but I doubt it. Even if your input volume is set to 100%, there is no way for the mac to know if your microphone is functioning properly and feeding in the sound it is suposed to. It is just like having faulty speaker - the mac is sending the audio like it is supposed to, but if the speakers fail, the mac can't know that and will still think everything is normal. Why not just pop open a simple recording app 9Audacity or even a monitoring app like Line in) and test things? On May 25, 2013, at 12:31 AM, Devin Prater <d.pra...@me.com> wrote:
