On my Macbook, what is this port between my USB's and my Headphone ports? It looks like a headphone jack, but the image above it is something I've never seen before. (Took me 3 months to begin to worry about it 
)

Got a tip for us?

Just been staring intently at the side of my MB! I reckon it's two arrows pointing into a hole. But 2? Very odd

it's a symbol for audio in >o<
i just said that...
why do people feel the need to reply with the exact thing that was just said?
haha sorry, couldn't help myself with this reply.
It's an audio line in port for your microphone, etc.
Probably because a line in requires line level signal, which most microphones do no supply without running the mic through a pre amp of some kind.
The solution is to use a USB mic or use a pre amp.
