Thanks Tina & Walter. Tina, I don't want to return this iMac only to find that it's a common fault. Walter, everything, Speech input, Line in in System preferences/Sound, & Audio Midi, is turned up to the max. The best I can get is with the usb mic turned up to 20dB, and that's not as good as sound as my last iMac using the input mic. The 'M' slider on my new iMac is greyed out in Sound Preferences, and is set very low. I presume it's the reason for the low input. Can anyone verify whether their 'M' slider is active/inactive on an iMac please?
