External Input via 3.5 mm audio port on 2022 MacBook Air

I am combining a backup track and piano playing in a Behringer mixer and feeding that to my MacBook via the audio port. I have checked the line and the signal is there but my Mac is not picking it up. I have chosen 'external mic' in System under Sound inputs but that doesn't work. Is there something else I have to set up to get my Mac to recognize this input and combine it with video using Photo Booth?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

You need an analog to USB audio input. Behringer makes them.
