Is there such a thing as an adapter/splitter that will make the single audio jack on the mini into 2 ports so that you can have speakers & a mike plugged in at the same time?
I want to be able to take advantage of the ingame chat feature on UT2k4 & Red Orchestra.

Cheers

The audio jack is output only, there is no analogue in on a Mini, but you could use something like a Griffin iMic which plugs into a USB port and gives you a audio in and out.

I neglected to mention options other than the iMic.
I didn't even think to check prior to purchase. Thought it would be like my old G4 w/ 2 ports

Any idea if the iMic would work when plugged into a USB hub?

Is the hub powered or not?

Then the iMic should work with it.

The iMic works like a charm when plugged into the USB hub.
No problem with setup of configuring.
