- 2007 Mac Book Pro 2.2 Ghz 4 GB RAM SSD OSX 10.11 & 2006 MBP Stuck At 10.6.8
Hi All!
I think this question belongs here, rather than in the OS or Music section, so please pardon my goof if it belongs elsewhere.
When I put a cord from the headphone jack on my telephone (Android 5.1) to the Mic In jack on the 2006 Macbook Pro using OS X 10.11.6, I get no output.
In System Preferences - Sound, I have Input as Line In & volume up.
TESTING & VERIFYING-
Cable:
Tested with iPod to computer: Sound Is Good
Tested with phone to car aux input jack: Sound Is Good
Tested with phone to truck cassette adapter (old truck!): Sound Is Good.
Phone Jack:
Tested with phone to earbuds: Sound Is Good
Tested with phone to car aux input jack: Sound Is Good
Tested with phone to truck cassette adapter (old truck!): Sound Is Good.
Tested with phone to powered speakers: Sound Is Good.
Tested with phone to small, passive speakers: Sound Is Good.
At this point I only have one guess, and it is probably wrong, why the phone can send sound to other devices and why the Mac can take input from other devices: That theory is that the phone has a very, very low output signal and the computer needs more than the other things.
Do you all know of something I missed in setting up to play the phone sound on the computer?
Thanks!
Paul
PS: The reason is I can't deal with iTunes, so I want to use my phone's music player.
