The same thing can be said about the addition of a firewire hub, and in THIS specific case the MICROPHONE port. In essence, USB devices that need a higher power current in order to work, will give you a "USB low power notice" from Mac OS X. ![]() The keyboard takes the power of one port and switches it into two ports AND powers the keyboard. But, I found out that these ports in the keyboard aren't energized by themselves. What I mean by that is, I've seen devices in the past that would not work when connected to the Mac, in certain places or instances.įor example, Apple's keyboard has two USB ports when one can utilize the keyboard as an additonal 2-port hub for additional USB devices. Going from other tips I had attained from this article, I came to the realization that, like everything else with Macs, many of their ports are "passive" ports and not what I'd call 'fully' operational. I realize it's been two years since anyone has posted anything in this forum on this particular topic, but allow me to share my input. ![]() I just thought that I'd share with you and the rest of the online community how I fixed my problem with the microphone issue with the Mac mini. Please excuse the title, but I didn't know what else to call it.
