Can't get audio to record through mic jack

I have a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack cable connected between the headphones jack of one computer and the mic jack of my MacBook Pro. I'm trying to import sound into Garage Band and I simply CANNOT figure out how to make this work. GarageBand only wants to import from the mic in the front of the my laptop.
I've tried all 3 input settings (mono-1 built in, mono-2 built in, stereo 1/2 built in) and none of them seem to work.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Can't get Audio to play through when importing using iMovie '09

    Anyone know how to get audio to work when importing DV footage into iMovie '09.
    It used to work fine in iMovie HD. Any ideas??
    Yours sincerely,

    I've just spent a while trying to figure this out ...
    I used this feature (monitoring audio on import) all the time in previous versions of iMovie ...
    Kind of essential I think ...
    Now we have a new 'feature' in iMovie where you can't monitor audio during import.
    Wouldn't it be nice if Apple documented this somewhere (maybe on iMovie Help ...).
    I understand about hi-speed import from other (non DV) formats ...
    So why not just let the user hit the 'mute' button if they don't want to listen to audio on import ?
    Pretty simple - rather than having this somewhat arbitrary rule imposed on iMovie users ?
    The only way to monitor audio during import is to plug headphones into the camera itself.
    Which means we are wearing a thing with a wire attached - making the BT headset capability of the Mac somewhat redundant.
    Oh well ... one step forward, one step back.

  • Can't get audio to record

    When I try and record a screen cast, I get no audio - I get a
    warning "Adobe Captivate must establish audio input and recording
    sensitivity levels to create the best possible audio quality. Do
    you want to continue testing audio levels?
    I click Yes Nothing happens.
    I click the red record button again, and it starts recording,
    but I have no audio.
    I am running Vista x64. Captivate 4 build 1596 with the
    modified NSAudio.dll of size 536 K (that was mentioned in another
    post on the forum, but didn't fix my issue.
    In my Audio settings screen , there is a 'calibrate audio'
    button - clicking it does nothing.
    Please help!
    My audio device is an M-Audio sound card which does show up
    in the drop down as a source.

    Hi there
    You probably need to contact Adobe Support if you need help right away. Especially seeing as how the things mentioned in this thread failed to help solve your issue.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV?  If so, I'm afraid it's not possible.  However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then.  There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

  • Can´t get logic to record audio

    ok, i´m feelin´really stupid here - but it´s true - I can´t get logic to record audio in some songs. the only thing - as far as I´m concerned - that is changed while swaping between songs are the song settings. that´s where I´ve been looking for something that´s been disabling the rec function.
    I was working on a song right now which I was recording vocals on a couple of days ago, and now I was going to record some synthstrings (record to audio) and I just can´t make it happen. record path e t c seems to be ok.
    please somebody...HELP!!
    regards

    hi guys!
    thanks for takin´time... I solved the problem last night and then forgotten to post what i´m doing now. but I think it´s a bug... (and it´s ok if u don´t believe me...) it´s a bit spooky...
    I´ve changed the track icons to that cute little tapedeck (for the audio tracks only - buses, inputs and audio instruments have other symbols). looks nice in the arrange window. (gives me the "feel" of recording...) And the song i was working with has been like this for a couple of months. And I´ve been doing a lot of recording until yesterday when it was not possible...
    For some reason i started to fiddle with the track symbol - changing it - and, yes, logic was able to record. At this time I didn´t believe that this was the reason so I changed back to the little tape deck, and yes, recording was not possible. Then I opened an autoload which had the same syndrom (at that time I didn´t bother - I just created another setup), and first trying to record - not possible - then changing the tape deck symbol (yes I used it here too - I really liked it...) and recordning was possible. It seems that if all of logics 64 audiotracks has that (from now on I will call it "ugly") tape deck symbol, at least I can´t record audio (logic won´t go in to record - no matter what - pushing buttons clicking mouse e t c) recording midi was never affected. And the "spooky" thing is that I´ve been recording (with no problems) with all of the 64 audiotracks labelled with that little "ugly" tape deck - until yesterday...
    This might just b a wierd thing - but if anyone elese has a problem like this, it might help. I´m not shure weather it´s the tape deck symbol itself that causes the problem, but getting rid of it solves the same problem.
    (I´m using a RME multiface and I´m not 100% shure it could have SOMETHING to do with this)
    best regards

  • On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode, I can't hear anything nor can anyone hear me! Help. Please.

    On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode! I can hear anything through the ear piece or via a headphone. Nor can people hear me when I call. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

    Hello Angela,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone.  I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • How can you get audio for  books on the kindle

    how can you get audio for  books on the kindle

    The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs.  You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.

  • Can't get audio to work on my Panasonic Plasma smart TV when I connect a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital to my mid 2009 MacBook pro?

    My MAc book pro 5.5 is mid 2009, Processor speed 2.26 GHZ MacOS X VERSION 10.68 Leopard. My Tv is a Panasonic Plasma smart TV TC-P50ST60. I ordered from Amazon a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital cable meant for Macbook pro 2009 forward. I changed the settings on both TV and Mac but I still can't get audio to work on TV. I believe my Mac can't see the audio output from the TV. Any advice with step by step instructions on how to fix it? could it be they sent me defective cables? Thank You for your help.

    When I spoke with Apple I made sure I told them that my Macbook Pro was Mid 2009 and he ensured me again that those to cords will work. I realize that with the newer models it does put through both sound and audio but because of my model I don't think it does obviously because I have played with both Sound on my computer and Sound on the TV and nothing works. Sometime Apple can be good but man some people lol he even told me he verified my computer model on the computer and that's what came up.
    So new question would be what kind of cable would I be looking for to get audio? Anyone before I call back to Apple and see what they say hahah

  • How can I get the previous record's field value in a VO

    Hi I would like to know how can I get the previous record's field value in a VO
    For example : I have a VO porequisitionlinesvoimpl, and it contains 5 records (porequisitionlinesvoimpl.getRowCount() = 5). How can I search all records in the VO and get the field (attribute3) for all records?
    Many thanks anyone can help
    Lawrence

    Hi ,
    U can loop through the VO to get the value of attribute3,
    need to extend the controller ,use below code
    OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)oawebbean.getApplicationModule (VO1);
    OARow row = null;
    int fetchedRowCount = vo.getFetchedRowCount();
    RowSetIterator Iter = vo.createRowSetIterator("Iter");
    if (fetchedRowCount > 0)
    Iter .setRangeStart(0);
    Iter .setRangeSize(fetchedRowCount);
    for (int i = 0; i < fetchedRowCount; i++)
    row = (OARow)Iter .getRowAtRangeIndex(i);
    String value = (String)row.getAttribute("Atrribute3");

  • Where can i get a voice recorder for my ipod???

    Hi i was just wondering where can i get a voice recorder for my ipod because i haven't seen them around
    thanx

    good answer though you will have to wait till spring for it.
    here is the only manufacturer so far thats announced one that you can actually see. I think it looks seemless and reliable but its a guess.

  • Can i play audio and record video at the same time, disabling the external mike, so the video has that audio?

    can i play  audio while recording a video so that the audio is recorded with the video? .. disabling the inboard mic, ? .. thank you 

    Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
    The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

  • How can i get all the records from three tables(not common records)

    Hi
    I have four base tables at R/3-Side. And i need to extract them from R/3-Side.
    And i dont have any standard extractor for these tables .
    If i create a 'View' on top of these tables. Then it will give only commom records among the three tables.
    But i want all the records from three base tables (not only common).
    So how can i get the all records from three tables. please let me know
    kumar

    You can create separate 3 datasources for three tables and extract data to BW. There you can implement business login to build relation between this data.
