[Ti] iMic does not appear in my sys prefs; very strange

[Khyber Courchesne]

Let me just jump in here:  is there a reason my powerbook 667 does not see a
plugged-in microphone in the sound-in port?  I end up having to use an iMic.
What is the sound-in port for?  Do I need more hardware just to get it to
function?

This has been rather vexing.
