How can this still be version 1?

And no, I don't think it's the difference between a 2.5mm and 3.5mm plug. They won't cross.

I would have expected the system to know there was no microphone connection in the plug, but. Well. Windows.

The decision tree on this machine is different from your old machine. On this machine, Someone plugged in a microphone takes priority from Recording YouTube.

You might try reading the info in Go > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.

In that case, you can use the port as an input OR an output. Not both at the same time. Or not. The early machines like mine have a dedicated stereo line in and stereo line out.

If the clip has had post production, then you have no idea what you have and the clip could exhibit insanity no matter what you do. The fir...

There is another way to do this, although many people scoff. I did it with two computers and a sound mixer. This has the advantage of being able to host multiple people in the studio and work with a Skype call and integrate real-time music. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PodCast_Studio_WS.jpg Th...
