Hello, I am experiencing a problem connecting a microphone to my pretty looking junk pile G5. I tried to hook up my PC's microphone to the Mac (new Mac Pro G5, OS X 10.5.5) and do a sound check. I went to the "Sound" Preferences panel and selected Input, Line In as the source. The level meter showed nothing when I spoke into the microphone. Then I went to the "Speech" Preference panel and also selected Line In and used its Calibrate function - nothing. I know my microphone works - I have used it for recording with my PC all the time. However, on the Mac, it does not register at all.
Now, I learn I need a Mac-specific amplified microphone or some such to capture audio on a Mac just to plug in a stinkin' microphone that costs as much as $160.00! (Why-O-Why did I go with a Mac!![:\](/mac_images/images/smilies/Undecided.png "Undecided :\")
) Fine/whatever, can you please tell me what exactly what and where I can find this amazing adapter? Your assistance is so GREATLY appreciated, 
Zeusest ;D
(I may be over reacting a little, it's just no matter where I've gone with this cheese-grater-machine there has been a hurdle or something I have had to buy to go to where I want to go and it's well past being calm and collect about it. - hardware problems, software compatibility issues, and others. I've spent nearly $4,000.00 on a machine that crashes ALL the time and is SO slow with Photoshop, rendering in Bryce, Poser and Macromedia. My little IBM 1.6 Ghz is absolutely without question so much faster than this Mac. I'm so close to introducing Mr G5 to the top floor, to look over the city then to experience the magnificence of gravity! It's prematurely aging me... )
