[QUOTE="philQT, post: 1913640, member: 413592"] Hi, I wasn't able to find an anwer to this question, so bear with me if I have overlooked it. I am trying to connect a guitar amp to my Macbook Air. I have tried two options: 1) connect the headphones output on the amp directly to the headphones port on the Macbook 2) connect the headphones output on the amp via an audio-USB-adapter to the USB input on the Macbook But in neither case is the external input source being recognized. Curiously, when I try option 2), the external amp briefly shows up in the Sound Input list, but then disappears and shows up in the Sound Output list instead. To avoid confusion: I DO NOT want to directly connect the guitar to the Macbook and then use GarageBand as an amp etc. Instead, I want the Macbook to recognize the amp like a simple audio line-in source Is this possible? My Mabook Air is 11-inch Mid 2013 running macOS 10.12.6 (... or would I need a newer Macbook for this?) Thanks for helping! [/QUOTE]
