'went through the same problem with Skype and my Dual 1.8 G5.
My solution was to buy the Griffin iMic - plug the iMic into the mac
via usb and the mic into the iMic :)

Not a $20 solution though, more like a $60 one. At the time I was
tempted to get an iSight since it comes with a built in microphone ...
the iMic works just fine though.
Cheers,
Tobes.

Yes, I just found a chatroom that told me this too - Thanks Shay. Any
ideas on pre-amping. I was hoping to find a $20 solution such as
Officeworks Headphone and mic sets but I guess I will have to spend
more being a mac user. :( I love my macs but this kind of thing does
get to me sometimes!

Do Power Mac G5's have an inbuilt mic?

The audio input probably requires a pre-amp, so you'll need to pass
the microphone through some sort of amplifier to bring the voltage up
to something the Mac can actually detect.
Have fun,
