Hello Dan and fellow LLTIers:
Yep, it is a problem we experience, too. Apple claimed that the emac gives us back what we asked for in (higher) education. However, the audio-jack is really just a line-in. Unless you have an amplified source, it will not register. The only way out (to my knowledge): USB microphone headsets. That means, replacing your old headsets if you need an external microphone. Apple Tech support now does admit that the jack does not work with regular, un-amplified microphones.
Best regards, Jörg Waltje
