I couldn't work out any easy way to listen to the line-in input on my MacBook; GarageBand was being slow and obnoxious, and searching here for hints didn't yield anything either.

Listten to the line-in input
This is a good one. In 10.2.x you used to be able to do this without a third party app (such as LineIn) using one of the midi app's preferences that came with the OS, but since 10.3, that feature/app has been gone. I've used LineIn since then to be able to record radio which I plug into the mic slot. It's annoying though that you have to have an app in the doc to do this where as in the past, when you changed the preference in the midi app, it applied globally and you could quit the app and it would still work. This is really something I I think should be in the system audio preferences!
Listten to the line-in input
You don't need a third party app. The preference you're talking about is still there, in the Audio MIDI Setup application (in the Utilities folder).

On some systems, including my all-stock MBP, the check boxes to which you refer remain greyed out, unchangeable, and therefore LineIn is a useful solution for my machine.
Listten to the line-in input
My "thru" checkbox is greyed out - always has been since 10.3.x. Do you know how to ungrey it? It's not greyed out on my 10.4 machine at work.
Listten to the line-in input
I use it to share speakers between two macs.
This functionality is included already
On MacOS X 10.4.8 on an iBook G4, simply open Audio MIDI Setup.app ( found at /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup.app) and click the "Thru" checkbox in the listbox on the lower left. I've heard others say that this feature isn't available for them, but it works for me on 10.4
Needed for new Macs
As osxpounder posted above in response to another nay-sayer, "On some systems, including my all-stock MBP, the check boxes to which you refer remain greyed out, unchangeable, and therefore LineIn is a useful solution for my machine." |
