I’m running the latest OS available for the iTouch – 3.1.3. The workaround isn’t all that great, since the problems with mic will resurface after the iTouch goes to sleep (even when the mic is left plugged in), requiring another reboot.

Thank you Dino! What OS are you currently running?

I just revisited this issue with my iPod Touch 1G & iVoiceIII. I was frustrated to find out that the iVoiceIII no longer worked with the latest version of the firmware. However, there does appear to be a workaround: rebooting the iTouch with the microphone installed does appear to allow most applications to recognize the mic (Skype, Voxie, etc). As long as the microphone stays plugged in, you should be OK. However, if it is unplugged and plugged back in again, the problems everyone has experienced will occur again.

I got a Skype call to work. The message goes away if before plugginh the Macally III you insert the headphones first. That’s it.

Same thing happened to my audio input device for my macbook pro when I upgraded to snow leopard… Now I need to spend $300 or more to do what I was able to to just weeks ago on garage band & Logic…
Also, I have a 1st Gen iTouch with 3.1 upgrade, and a girlfriend who lives in Japan. -_-;

Darn you Apple, damn you. I was rocking a touchmods mic on 1.1.4 jailbroke before the AppStore even existed. When 2.2 came out and supported the Macally IVoiceIII, I unjailbroke and spend 100’s of dollars on apps. Many of which I bought because of the mic support. When app developers said their app didn’t support for 1st gens I proved to them it worked just fine. The developers announced it to their fans (Voxie from BottleRocket). I was acclaimed in a blog. People were buying mics/iPod Touch 1st Gens/Apps that supported mics, that’s 1000’s I made Apple. And this is what we get in return. Well forget you Apple. When I get the iPhone 4G & the MacTablet (used of course) I’m going to jailbreak them so hard your nose’s are going to bleed. You lost a good one, and your phone freaking heritage has been lost. Your lack of integrity will create hardware vigilantes like me and before long you’ll be Microsoft. @Gizmopunk
