Your Mac mini comes with 90 days of complimentary technical support and a one-year limited warranty. Purchase AppleCare+ for Mac to extend your coverage to three years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and add up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $99 for external enclosure damage, or $299 for other repairable damage, plus applicable tax. I have just bought a new Mac Mini Late 2014. I noticed that the System Preferences Sound says that there is no sound input device. This is causing me lots of problems in the app I'm developing in XCode. My older 2012 Mac Mini shows an 'Audio line-in port' and my app works. Is there something wrong with my new Mac Mini?

Dave,
Probably not what you are hoping to hear, but...
I used one for years, used all the top software packages, usb cables ranging from AQ to Black Cat to the $1K Lightspeed, tried all kinds of tweak from better power supplies, ifi cable splitting filters, decrapifiers, etc. Had Lacie hard drives and tried SS drives too.
The best thing I did was replace the mac with a Sonore microRendu and a NAS. It wasn't even close.
There are plenty of threads that explain the advantages of my solution and plenty of similar approaches. Chris Connaker's online 2part review of the microRendu is a great place to quickly get up the learning curve.
If it's not too late and you aren't emotionally 'all-in', consider it...Cheers,
Spencer
