I dont know what the difference is. I don’t even know where to start looking.

it is SD, we edit DV footage off the USB hard drive 2.0. I know, I know. It’s so horrible. Blah.

But, it works perfectly on my other two macs. I haven’t upgraded my RAM on my other macs so it can’t be the RAM.

Some how I got it working.

My newer mac pro, that I got in August, the mic worked just fine after restart.

My older mac I went to utilities and then system utilities and clicked “disk utilities”
and then clicked “repair disk permissions” on the hard drive the operating system is installed on. then I clicked
“verify disk permissions”
and restarted the computer and the mic works fine now.

I have another mac pro from 2005 that the mic isn’t working on. I don’t know what I’ll do on that one.

Thanks for all the help. I’m just updating this thread so future USB mic owners will try what I did to get it working.

Yes, I even called Alesis and their last resort was reinstalling the OSX.

I have another Mac computer that is OSX 10.5 and it works just fine.

It befudles me why it isn’t working. I’ve checked every input setting I could think of. Even the Audio MIDI section.

nothing is working.

That works great! The guy said “that’s one way” are there more?
