hi I need know how make to work a mic on macpro for use skype, I can hear but the mic dont work, I need a preamp or something? or something to buy? for work like mic of imac?

thanks
 
If your microphone uses the standard 3.5 mm jack, you will need a preamp as the mac pro does not have one built in. Unless you need professional audio, you are better off getting a new usb microphone.
 
goto to preference in skype and play around with the sound settings eg. input, output and etc. it took me awhile.
 
Buy a cheap USB headset. That's what I did, and I've had absolutely no problems. My Skype works fine, as does Garageband and iChat.
