#Osx linein how to
They could not tell me what the line-in port can be used with or how to fix the port. I asked them about the OSX side of the machine and the fact that I need to run the Linein program and they politely told me that the Line-in input is not “for that purpose”. I contacted Apple support and they told me that they do not support the boot camp side or the virtual machine side, so no luck there. I then tried to install XP on a virtual machine with Parallels 5.0 and still unable to hear the audio over the line-in input. I installed XP on the boot camp side and I am unable to use the line-in input whatsoever (no sound) and I can not find a program similar to Linein. Now, the main problem that I am having is using the line-in on the boot camp side. I checked all of the input / output settings on the iMac and adjusted the line-in levels and still no audio without the program. I am unable to hear the audio though if the Linein program is not running in the background. I was able to finally get the audio to carry over on the iMac with a program from Rogue Ameba called Linein. When I plug the headphone cable into the line-in port on the iMac, the sound is not audible over the built in speakers or through the external speakers that are connected to the iMac. I plugged the unit directly into a pair of speakers and verified that audio is being carried over the headphone cable properly. The unit is working through the usb and the iMac controls the unit with no issues. I installed all of the OSX updates (snow leopard) and I installed all of the drivers for the XM PCR. The unit also has a headphone jack size cable that carries the audio to the iMac.

The XM PCR is a usb based XM radio unit that uses the usb port to control the unit. I am trying to use an XM PCR unit with the iMac but I am not having any luck. The unit has an audio line-in input and a line out / headphone port. I just purchased a new iMac 27” with the 3.6 processor (not quad core). I am looking for any help that anyone can offer with an iMac line-in audio issue.
