[MacTUG] A sound issue

[Steve Hellyer]

Hi Richard,

By default we don't do this because that would just cause feedback.  Aka microphone pick up sound and then send out on speakers which get pick up by microphone.
You can force pass through this using a utility "Line In".

Carful with the volume or your could end up with the beginning of a Jimmy Hendrix song. :-)
