Well I am not to sure what you can do but since mac is a apple product maybe using some apple headphones could help with the problem. once again I am not to sure myself but if that helps then awesome. hope that helps

I don't have a suggestion. When I purchased ours, it was for a PC. However, I did not know that it was for xp and 2000, I believe. Fortunately my parents have a laptop with xp and my daughter is able to use it. I do not remember seeing a choice for operating systems, except for the PC/MAC difference. I noticed on the back of our box it is dated 2009.

Cynthia, your PC should have two mini jacks, one for a mic and the other for a headset. plug it into the mic jack. The next challenge is figuring out how to get it to work. If you are using a MAC, I can't help, but ig you are using a PC running any version of Windows you may have to go to the speaker symbol on the task bar in the far right side on my systems, right click and open recording devices. To record you may want to load Audacity, a free sound audio recording/editor. My mic had a touchy on/off switch, but it works fine now. The Sound controls are also available in the Control Panel. Good luck. I live mine.

Dear AJ,Your solution sounded quite simple. Unfortunately, it did not work. Tried it twice just to be sure. Also, it is a variation of what Acer tech rep suggested (uninstall and reinstall the sw, but not via eRecovery - just the old fashioned way). Still no live mic. Hope you are right and it is merely a sw fix that could be forthcoming, but reinstalling current driver is not it for my machine.

This mic works amazingly well with Mac OS X that's what I use mine with GarageBand

Not sure if that's a question or statement... Anyway, two things I've noticed using this device for a long time now. You must use the USB cable that came with it (or one IDENTICAL to it). I've used cables that fit and get terrible results. Second, check that your microphone cable and microphone are in working order. Hope this helps.

I don't know about a mac but we're using a headset with integrated mic and headphones on a PC and it works fine.

either theres a problem with the jack or you have to change some settings around as soon as u plug it in on my computer a window pops up and my computer has a list of options to.choose from because it didnt recognize it and when i chose mic it worked

Oh, sorry :) I don't know specifics about the apple adapter, but it seems like sometimes you have to go to the settings and actively select audio out from your speaker menu on the mac. I have an HP with a dock so it is a little more confusing, but I have heard of people needing to go to the audio menu and toggling it on. Get a cheap one from amazon and try mesing ith the settings. If you are still under warranty, it might also help to talk to a genius. They might have some ideas that don't involve the iTV. I think straming from your mac would be faster.

Yes, the microphone is automatically recognized and installed by Fedora 19 with kernel 3.11 (probably works with other kernels as well).

You need an audio interface to connect it to your mac. The quality of the interface will effect the mics sound but it is sole due to the ad converter in the audio interface

Depending on OS, you would need to select audio source. Skype has Audio settings where you can select where audio is coming from and where it is going to. Both MacOs and Windows recognize this mixer perfectly fine.

I have been told this recorder will not work with a Mac which has version OSX 10-11-3 EI Capitan

Thanks to your suggestion I plugged a Logitech camera/microphone into one of the usb ports (the one on the left side) and sound tested ok as did camera. That should rule out some parts of the machine (like the sound card I think). Anyone able to do this as well?

I have the MAC MINI. I think it is compatible with windows but always check first go to YouTube that's what I did. If it is compatible and you need a microphone you can purchase the irig microphone also bit if you need a mic with an USB than get the YETTI.

It should. Definitely runs fine with my 2010 MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.9.2. I use it for Skype when I use my Mac in "lid-closed" mode, tucked on a little shelf under my desk and attached to an external monitor. Both the mic and camera in the webcam work fine for me. If I remember correctly, it just worked right away - didn't need to install any drivers.
