Rebel t4i external mic problem / questions

Hey everyone, first time poster in this section. I recently bought a used Rebel t4i. Low shutter count and everything, overall the camera is amazing for my needs (Just installed ML on it as well) - I tried to record a video today with an external mic but every time I went to view the video the audio wouldn't work? Im guessing the mic jack is broken or maybe im doing something wrong, im not sure? Please note, when I take the mic out and record with the internal mic it works perfectly fine.

One thing I did notice though, this morning I did a test video and moved the mic jac around a bit and I notice the bars on the sound recording menu kept jumping like it did when i was just using the internal mic. But when I played the video yet again there was still no sound. So completely at a loss here. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.

Also if im recording a video in my house is there anyway I can connect the camera and mic to my computer and have the audio sync of that just like if I was plugging into the camera itself?

Thank you

Canon EOS Rebel T4i (EOS 650D / EOS Kiss X6i)
