    I suggest you make this two problems. Start out plugging in a 
microphone and talking into it. Learn how to save your voice. You also 
vary the amplitude of the voice with the sound control. Right click the 
two little speakers and select the Open Volume Control. There you should 
find Mike volume slider controls. You can turn down the mike gain to 
accept your ipod audio, I think :-)

    The equipment you have should work fine.
