Hi!
I need to capture the analog audio from my old video camera, on my brand new MacBook Pro 15" Retina Late-2013 model.
I was sure that the single mini-jack port on the MBP was dual in function, in that it could be used both as an audio out-line (e.g. headphones) and an audio in-line (e.g. microphone).
I have the EasyCap USB video capture dongle, but it does not handle the audio. I have two dongles, bought on separate occasions, both will capture the video, but not the audio.
On several YouTube tutorials for the EasyCap dongle, the mac 3.5mm mini-jack port is used as an audio in-line. When I follow the tutorials for switching between audio-out and audio-in, I´m stopped in the preference panel, when I reach the "audio-section".

I do not have any visible drop-down menu to choose from.
How should I go about getting the analog audio from my video camera?
