Microphone does not work with Mac OS 10.4.11
The microphone to the "bonus" headset that comes with the Gear Head WC830I camera does not work with Mac OS 10.4.11.
I would like to find a driver or other solution that would allow the microphone to work on my G4 PowerBook. Any suggestions?

Those who post that because it is line in you need a powered amp are idiots who have fallen into the hype that mac is. I cannot offer a full solution only a possible solution rogue amoeba has created a program called LineIn whish certain users have seen fix their line in issue. However if it does not work you have just been screwed by one of the issues macs have (a mac is a computer... and therefore there are bugs and issues. sorry all you enthusiasts but it is true) you will either need to spend the money to get a new mic or wait for a future fix if they ever even care to. Which most likely they will not fix because everytime mac screws something up its users spend more money without even asking why.
as a side note - if it is a headset mic plug your speakers into the line in and set the default to line in and speak into the headset. you most likely will get a audio feed. tell those enthusiasts who say you need a powered mic also that they are tools.
