m working on a patch and I would like to use the microphone in an isight as audio input. Somehow max doesn

t seem to recognize the signal. In DSP it recognizes the device as an isight and the video part works perfect but the audio doesn`t. I thought that the thing was broken but it seems to do fine in other applications.

Any ideas on this?

If the audio does work fine in other applications, that means that core audio (the service form the system that handles audio) has connected to it. Max connects into core audio.

It might be that the signal is muted by default and that other applications (from apple inc) unmute it. This is speculation. The question then would be how to do that from max.
