Hi Ray, It does work. I've had somebody on skype listen to me and the Mac through external speaker using the built in mic. By far the easiest way. Hope it works for you. Lisette On 19/03/2014, at 11:25 am, Ray Foret Jr rforet7...@comcast.net wrote: I am very much afraid that approatch just

I tried the Soundflower route once. I suspect the problem is Skype not handling the input. When I record Soundflower and my microphone, I need to set Audacity to record three channels, two for the stereo input of Soundflower and one for my mono mic. In Skype, though, you cannot set the channel

Okay, Is there any way to allow a person to whom I am talking on Skype to hear directly what my Mac is doing? I tried using Sound Flower, Line in, and system audio but no joy. Any ideas? Sent from my Mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in! Sincerely, The

Hmm, in terms of hearing both you and VO? I haven't found a way to do both, but I can just use system audio with audio hijack and do it that way. Matt Dierckens Macintosh Trainer Blind Access Training www.blindaccesstraining.com 1-877-774-7670 ext. 4 On Mar 18, 2014, at 5:25 PM, Ray Foret Jr

Well, yes, in fact, I want the person to be able to hear everything including Voice OVer and the app I'm using. Come to think of it, I just thought of a way. Plug my microphone directly in to a mixer, plug my Mac's output in to another channel on that mixer, and then, make sure Skype's output

If you aren't trying to record it, couldn't you just use your built in microphone as input and your external speakers? It's not recording quality obviously, but depending on what you are doing, this set up will allow someone to hear voiceover and any other sounds coming from your mac. You could

Yes. Yes. Use Ladiocast and route aduio from your headphones to Sound Flower, switch your system sounds to sound flower, and switch your Skype input to Sound Flower. Then use Line in to go from Sound Flower to your headphones so you yourself can hear everything. Cheers Dave On 18 Mar 2014, at

Otherwise, the analog way with an external mixer works. I've even gone so far as to run Jaws in a virtual machine with Skype on the Mac and and an external mic for doing demos of how stuff works with multiple screen readers (VO and Windows). The mixer also let me tweak things in real time for
