Macs will not do that without outside help. My favorite way around this is WireTap. I have a license for WireTap Pro and it pretty much does everything I need and it connects to the scheduler for unattended recording. I think VersionTracker has older versions of the program. A more difficult way aro...

<<<the other end in to my laptop's Mic In>>> Mic-In connections are expecting an audio signal roughly a thousand times lower than the one the scanner is producing. The laptop is amplifying the noise floor from the scanner which, along with everything else, is a thousand times louder than it should b...

I'm getting a headache trying to think of all the variations that could cause all the symptoms. Let's do a test. This will either tell me/us valuable things, or completely cloud the issue.
