This should work fine. You probably just need to "flip the switch" on 
your iMic -- there are two settings, lo-impedence and hi-impedence. You 
probably have yours set incorrectly for amplified sound.

You might also try Coaster (OS 9 and earlier only), which I used to use 
for such purposes when I was in OS 9. I loved it.

McDonald's.
