Hi, I've just bought a pair of altec lansing headsets to check out Skype. I have a PowerMac G4 and I can't get the mic to work. I can dial and hear the other person in my headset but can't be heard on the the other end.

I've set bothe the input and output on the the "sound" system's preference window but can't get it to work. Can anyone help? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for any info.
Santi

There is no Microphone input on any actual Mac, including PowerMacs. You need an external audio input device, like for example Griffin's iMic
