How to Fix Microphone not Working on Mac

All Mac modelѕ include a built-іn microрhone. All the more, уou may add an external microphone to any Mac model. That’s how you can usе FaceTime to talk, make phone calls, record videoѕ, and ask Siri questions on a maсOS device. Built-in miсrоphones are found оn Apple MacBooks and many desktop Macs. Headsets and microphones can be connected by USB, 3.5mm audio connector, or Bluetooth. A mic, like other audio equipment, will be plug-and-play. But, what should you do if you face the issue of your microphone not working on Mac? Do not worry, we bring to you a helpful guide that will teach you how to fix this issue and how to perform microphone test playback.

How to Fix Microphone Not Working on Mac

Setting up an external microphone on a Mac is easier than doing so on a Windows 10 PC, where the correct audio driver may need to be loaded. However, it is critical to know which microphone your PC is utilizing to successfully diagnose microphone issues.

• Internal Microphone: Any MacBook or iMac comes with an internal microphone.
• External USB Microphone: An external USB microphone is self-powered and connects straight to a USB port.
• External 3.5mm microphone: It is connected to the microphone input on your PC or to a separate audio interface, which may require more power.
• AirPods or any Bluetooth headset: These can be wirelessly connected to your Mac via Bluetooth.

Reasons Why Mac Mic is Not Working

Some of the reasons which caused your mic to stop working are:

• Your microphone might be misconfigured.
• It might be because of PRAM issues.
• Third-party apps might be conflicting.
• Certain games or apps might be causing this problem.

Pro Tip: Perform Microphone Test Playback Online

You can test Mac microphone sound by running a mic test from your web browser.

• Close any other apps that may be utilizing your microphone, such as Skype, Zoom, Facetime etc., if the microphone fails the equipment test or if you can’t hear yourself.
• Also, make sure you produce noise while the equipment is being tested. 

Follow the steps mentioned below to perform microphone test playback:

1. Visit this Microphone test app on your web browser.

2. To begin, click on the Play button, as shown.

3. Your browser will prompt you for permission to use the microphone. Click on Allow to grant it.

4. Speak into the mic after the browser has gained access to it.

5. The sound input will be shown by a small Window underneath the test area, with the line changing to reflect the loudness of the sound.

Method 1: Basic Troubleshooting

The microphone on your Mac is not always obviously visible and might be difficult to locate, especially if you don’t know where to look! PC internal built-in microphones are nearly imperceptible since they are so tiny. Examine the technical specs and schematics for your MacBook, iMac, or Mac desktop model to find your Mac microphone.

• On Macs, microphones are generally small pinholes on the sides of your MacBook, under the speaker grill near the keyboard.
• They could also be found next to the FaceTime or iSight camera on your iMac.
• Once you’ve found it, clean it with a microfiber or lint-free cloth to remove any dirt that could be obstructing it.
• You may also gently blow out any lint or dust that is interfering with the microphone’s ability to pick up sound with compressed air.
• Some readers suggest brushing away any lint, grime, or dust using a very soft toothbrush.

Method 4: Allow Microphone Access

Because a microphone is an input device, access to it is granted by the user. When you perform microphone test playback and find that your Mac can detect mic input through the System Preferences app, but an app can’t, it might be a permissions issue or a problem with the program itself. So, follow these steps to give microphone access to a particular app to fix microphone not working on Mac issue:

Method 5: Reset Permissions

We’ve noticed a one-of-a-kind bug in the beta versions of macOS Mojave and Catalina. Except in a few programs, the microphone on the MacBook performs admirably. Users that utilize the microphone with game applications have reported this issue of microphone not working on Mac. Here’s how to reset permissions to and force the apps to request mic permissions all over again:

1. Open the Terminal application from the Utility folder, as shown.

2. Type the following command and hit Enter key.

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC 

3. When asked, enter your credentials.

4. Finally, restart your MacBook.
