For applications that can record sound, such as iMovie, use the Sound pane of System
Preferences to select the audio input device you want to use, including microphones
connected through USB.
The volume controls on your keyboard allow you to easily change volume. You can also
access these controls from the Sound pane of System Preferences.
For more information about using or troubleshooting sound on your computer, choose
