Input Devices and System Preferences

I'm having some trouble using external input devices (specifically, a Griffin iMic). No matter what device i set in the AudioUnitSetProperty call (see below), I can only receive data from the built-in audio. When I tap the mic that is plugged into the iMic, I check the input levels in System Preferences and I can see that the iMic is selected and receiving data, but in my app I get lists of near-zero data. Under the same configuration, I tap the built-in mic and get good data even though the built-in audio device is not selected in my app, nor in System Preferences. I have checked that the AU is being set with the correct device by logging the AudioDeviceID during setup. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Is there another way to check what device my AU is using? Is there a part of the setup I may be omitting that would cause a problem like this?

I'm also wondering, how does the selected input device in the System Preferences affect the functioning of audio input in my application? When I do:

err = AudioUnitSetProperty(inputAudioUnit,
kAudioOutputUnitProperty_CurrentDevice,
kAudioUnitScope_Global,
0,
&inputDevice,
sizeof(inputDevice));

Does that override the selected input device in System Preferences?

Thanks,

-- DTC
