Anyone Try a Mic?

[Snub_Fighter]

Ok so i tryed my mic on a MBP in windos and its getting horrible amouts of feedback just wondering if anyone else has tryed a mic?

Feedback occurs when a mic is close to the output, in this case the speakers. Are your external speakers on? If so, try muting the main output while recording.


... I don't think anyone has found a way to "turn off" the speakers without muting them yet. Not sure though.

What about a USB headset? Has anyone tried that? On most computers that will shut off the speaker output and divert it to the USB headset.

The Mic in my iMac was working in Teamspeak tonight.

Doesn't the MBP have a built-in mic?

BGD, yeah it does,

in fact, I was playing DOD:S and yelling at people on my MBPs internal mic. I was happy to see that worked.

I tried using an external headset (http://www.pintmaster.com/wordpress/index.php/20060309/sennheiser-pc-150-noise-cancelling-headphones/) with skype and I couldnt switch to the headset's mic, I could only use my MB Pro mic. The other thing that was kinda embarassing is I didnt realize that my coworkers could hear everything coming out of the speakers.

The internal mic on my iMac 17" works fine, I was using it on MSN last night.

You may just need to fiddle with the gain/volume controls for your microphone. If you go into the volume panel, you can actually turn off playback output for your mic, whilst keeping it open for input.
