We have had the same issue with this microphone. If you still have the packaging, send it back!

See bro, the mic needs a micro 3D USB input, it allows it to be compatible with all laptops. Tho it is compatible with a desk top at anytime. This sound USB drive can be bought here on amazon for a low prize of $10 or less.

I have had the same exact problem. Worked great for awhile; now just shows it is recording and doesn't register any sound. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution?

You might have to get special drivers. What I would do is look online for the drivers for this mic, if the drivers are available for the mac you have than it is completely safe to use. If not than you would be taking a risk with the product.

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

Check switch on the middle of cable. Check options in your operating system. Also don't forget that you have to use both connectors to make mic working. If all of this is OK, I will expect that you have problem with headset.

Ok. I'm probably going to sound silly but, did you plug it into the Aux. Also there is an on and off switch on the mic.. other than that, I don't know. Ours worked fine. It might be a bad one.

there is a internal mic located adjacent to the webcam, however mine built-in mic is not working. I don't know if others are having the same problem. I just got my AAO yesterday... I'm returning my shipment back to Amazon.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

You might want to invest in a USB mixing board. Then you plug your mic into this unit, plug the output into the mixing board and then connect the mixing board to your computer.

I had the same result. I resorted to using the boom mic that was shipped with it. I don't know who's problem it is but I would assume it's Microsoft's since I have other issues that require constant rebooting.

There is no MIC input on this unit, one may find a way to connect USB sound device (which offers Mic input) to the existing USB port but that will be a long shot.

This won't work in my experience. It gets recognized but no matter what 3.5" microphone you plug into it, it won't recognize the audio for chat... have anyone really test it? I did and that was my experience

I had a similar issues but without further details it is hard to say if you aren't getting your mic to register sound or the headphone jack to playback the sound. I had to set my rode pod caster to the default device but this is on a windows platform. If mac has a similar function i would give that a try.
