[AG-USERS] Quick Intro and Quick Questions

[eolson]

Hi Patrick,

Your built-in microphone should work, but audio from the iSight will not 
work well, if at all.  Some other microphones may work also -- hopefully 
other people will respond with their preferred microphones.  There is a 
small list on the OSX download page of microphones people have reported 
as working on OSX.

Here are some details to help get your built-in microphone to work.
Before the rat audio tool starts, in system preferences, make sure you 
have your default audio input and output set to the built-in microphone 
and built-in speakers.  If you change any audio settings or devices in 
the system preferences, you'll have to restart rat (Preferences->Disable 
Audio, Preferences->Enable Audio, or just hit "Go") before rat will 
notice these changes.

The 3.0 releases do not have any improvements for these issues yet.

Hope this helps.  Let us know if you are able to get it to work or not.

Eric
