Thanks, it looks like I was just plain lucky with the Xitel Inport. I have researched the iMic and it sounds perfect! Plug and play with no external sound card to fight with. I am still initially wary with any Mac product but it looks like it is pc compatible. Now here is the new prob; finding the iMic! I googled it and have discovered that it sells so well that it is continually out of stock. I called Griffin Technology and they concurred. I went to J&R and put myself on the waiting list as well as at Amazon. I want it now! Wah!

I have the IMic which does allow you to hear jaws through the headphone jack on the IMic itself. it works well! I think I paid about $40.00 for it, which I seem to think it was cheaper than the Xittle device. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Alan Smith" <psmith.harv...@gmail.com> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 12:27 PM Subject: RE: Recording from external sources > Hi James, I tried it that way and as soon as I plug in the Inport into > the > usb, it silences Jaws.
