or assistance to get a Griffin iMic to work with YDL 401, and
about a new YDL HOWTO pertaining to same), Owen Stampflee wrote:

Thanks, Owen; that does work.  It doesn't seem to be necessary to
reboot; if all the sound applications, then modprobe -r snd_powermac
and plug the iMic in, it works.  Unplugging the iMic and modprobing
snd_powermac back in restores the internal audio.

Several times my computer (TiBook) has hung when I inplugged the
iMic, possibly because I forgot to shut down applications using it
before unplugging.  Twice it seemed to disconnect the keyboard,
and I had to use the power switch to turn it off and re-boot.
