Audio in/out jack on white Macbook

[superleccy]

A few questions about this, not been able to find the answers elsewhere.

- On the current white Macbook, how can you choose whether the "user selectable" audio jack works as an audio-in or an audio out?

- If you get the right adaptor, could you use the audio-in and audio-out simultaneously?

- I presume the audio-out is stereo, not mono. But is the audio-in stereo or mono?

Cheers

In the system preferences under sound.

Not with the built-in jack. It's either one or the other. You could use a peripheral like the Griffin iMic.

The jack itself supports stereo, so I would imagine either way would work, but I don't know.

Belated thanks madog.

Anyone else know weather the audio-in on the MacBook is Stereo or Mono?

what could i be doing wrong?

If you are able to determine whether or not a stereo input is supported, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know here!

i know the cable and guitar are fine, tested both earlier

and yes, stereo input is supported

I use a program called Soundflower to allow me to record output signals without needing any external hardware, to get around the "only one input/output jack" problem onthe new macbooks.

hmm, if anything, i'd at least expect the input to be able to relay an incoming signal to garage band without the need to download third party software

anyone any idea what i could be doing wrong?
