There is a little app called Jack that will allow you to route the sound from the mic to the output. You can probably do it in Garage Band and for sure in Amadeus which is a sound editing app. I tried Jack and got it to work but be sure to use headphones as you will get feedback from the Mic to the Speakers. That is why it's off by default! Here is a URL to Jack.
