Microphone not working on mac air
Started having this issue after the last mac os update. if audio isn't going to work it shows up as a single coloured bar, rather than the 2 when it does. Have tried deleting settings and completely reinstalling, this made it work ok for around 30mins (opening and closing OBS repeatedly and it picking up the audio every time)but now it's not working again. Sometimes randomly picks up audio after opening and closing OBS a number of times. Also reverts after closing and reopening without restarting, either immediately or after a few times of opening and closing. After using this work around it reverts to not picking up the audio after shutting down the computer and restarting it to use the next day. I've been using this as a work-around for a while, reinstalling every day, using it once it works. Sometimes picks up audio after uninstalling and reinstalling.
From the options on the left side of the window. Select the Privacy tab at the top of the window. Select Security and Privacy from the menu. Hi When I tried to use my laptop this morning, the internal speakers and mic weren’t working and no longer show up on the System Preferences. Select System Preferences from the drop-down menu. Internal mic and speakers not working on Mac Air. Just using the built in mic in my macbook. Click the Apple logo in the top left corner of your Mac’s menu bar. I regularly use the mic in imovie and never have an issue. Mic works fine on everything else, not a mic issue. I've tried getting help in the discord by no one seems to know what's wrong. Ok so I've been having this issue for a few months since the last OS update for mac.
