What model and flavor is it? As a USB device it usually is just a matter of the manufacturer offering OSX drivers. Without that you'll be stuck. CB On 10/28/11 4:24 PM, Shannon Dyer wrote: I have no clue, but would be very interested in finding out. I have a wonderful USB headset that works on

Depends on what headset you have. I use Sennheiser HD250 Linear II headphones which just plug right in to the headphone jack, but I'm assuming you're referring to some other kinds of headset. CB On 10/28/11 4:18 PM, Matt Dierckens wrote: I have a blue yeti microphone, but I wish taht I could u

Generally outside the PC world there are three standards for audio signals: Tiny mic level signals, line level signals such as used to patch a CD player into an amplifier and then speaker level to drive headphones or speakers. The Mac uses line level inputs while PCs use mic level inputs so if

I don't know if many folks realize this, but headphones for iPhones, and iPods with built in mics, do also work on the mac. I've never tried it for anything but just messing around in garageband, and the quality probably isn't that much better than the built in mic, except closer to you, but it

I have no clue, but would be very interested in finding out. I have a wonderful USB headset that works on Windows, but won't work when I'm running Mac OS. I'm not sure which mics are Mac compatible. I have a feeling this will take some research. Shannon If you're a Pagan, Goddess-centered woma

I I believe the converter is called a pre-amplifier. External microphones work OK, but the signal is too small for the line-in to recognize it. Best wishes, Jonathan On Oct 28, 2011, at 12:57 PM, Brent Harding wrote: > Wow, they've been doing this for a few years now. I wonder what the conv

It goes from 1/8 inch audio to usb. There may be others that just use the audio jack, but the usb one is the only one I could find. On 10/28/11, Brent Harding wrote: > Wow, they've been doing this for a few years now. I wonder what the > converter thingy is? > > - Original Message - > Fro
