Mac computer doesn't hear voice when using rosetta stone

I am using Rosetta Stone software to learn a language. Part of the software allows me to hear a native speaker say a phrase and then I repeat the phrase trying to match the voiceprint.
I am using a Microsoft LX-2000 Lifechat - just purchased today - on a Mac Mini - and I can hear things just fine, but the voice track from me is not being heard by the computer/program.
What to check?

I have windows, so I don't know if this will help, but I found that you have to make sure that the recording device is named "Microphone HS" or something with the word "microphone" in it. For some reason, rosetta stone does not recognize recording devices unless they have the word "microphone" somewhere in their name.... This is true for windows, I don't know if this is true in Mac. At least this may point you in the right direction. :)

I need the activation codes for rosetta stone Latin America Version 3. I think I have the 2007 Rosetta stone program set up.

You will find the activation code inside the box on a small card, If you don't find it contact Rosetta Stone with your Order number to get new one.

Thanks,

After selecting user nothing happens. Just a blank tan screen that says Rosetta Stone in a tab on the top left, three icons on top right

Just got off the phone with rosetta stone support for this exact problem. This is caused by a failure during the language update (I'm going to assume just before this happened it was prompting you to update the language files to the latest version, that was my scenario).

In any event, the fix is simple - Browse through your file system to C:\ProgramData\Rosetta Stone\ (you may have to set to show hidden files to see this path). Open the Products.Xml file and scroll to the very end. There is going to be a "<Product>" node (note, not <ProductS>) as the last subnode of <Products> and this node will have a Course Id of "null". If so, delete the entire <Product> node down to </Product>. Save, close the file, and restart Rosetta Stone -- voila.
