I installed XP on the boot camp side and I am unable to use the line-in input whatsoever (no sound) and I can not find a program similar to Linein. Now, the main problem that I am having is using the line-in on the boot camp side. I checked all of the input / output settings on the iMac and adjusted the line-in levels and still no audio without the program. I am unable to hear the audio though if the Linein program is not running in the background. I was able to finally get the audio to carry over on the iMac with a program from Rogue Ameba called Linein. When I plug the headphone cable into the line-in port on the iMac, the sound is not audible over the built in speakers or through the external speakers that are connected to the iMac. I plugged the unit directly into a pair of speakers and verified that audio is being carried over the headphone cable properly. The unit is working through the usb and the iMac controls the unit with no issues.

I installed all of the OSX updates (snow leopard) and I installed all of the drivers for the XM PCR. The unit also has a headphone jack size cable that carries the audio to the iMac. The XM PCR is a usb based XM radio unit that uses the usb port to control the unit. I am trying to use an XM PCR unit with the iMac but I am not having any luck. The unit has an audio line-in input and a line out / headphone port.

I just purchased a new iMac 27” with the 3.6 processor (not quad core). I am looking for any help that anyone can offer with an iMac line-in audio issue.
