Hi Kaydell,
Thank you for this!
I will work with it as a starting point.
One thing though, it is not the volume that is the issue. It is the input source. Something like, "Ext 45w mic".
We are accessing the machine using LogMeIn.
What I need though, is something that will either convince that Mac that the external USB mic is the default sound input, or have something run each time the Mac is restarted, to reset the sound input source.
Thanks again,
Dee Dee
