What kind of MacBook do you have? Only the higher MacBook Pro's have audio in ports on the side. You might just have a headphone jack, which won't take audio in.
sorry, ive just re read the post and i didnt explain my self very well. i have quite a basic macbook and when i was taling about the audio in ports they are on the amp. so to clarify i want to use the headphone port on my macbook and connect it to the audio in port on my amp. JC
No reason why it shouldn't work. Check the Sound Output options in System Preferences. Do headphones/external speakers work with your MacBook? Is the Mac's volume muted?
