Garageband not allowing audio input

[joeleoo0lbrex]

My problem is;
I plug in an audio input on my mac ibook G4 and go on system preferences which allows me to select my audio input as a source of sound input BUT when i then proceed to go onto Garageband, Garageband detects my audio input on its preferences but will not allow me to select and therefore leaving me unable to record from an audio input.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Cheers,
Joel

Try tp Reset Your PRAM to see if that helps. Plus try out the freeware application SoundSource to switch sound sources easily.
