Q: new iMac...trying to set up sound recording form the internet but my microphone isn't working for facetime.  I have soundflower installed...recording into Adobe Audition. Can't seem to get them all working...any help?

I'm just setting up my iMac, and am not very familiar as I'm just coming over from Windows.  Working on setting up my recordeing software (will most likely be Audition) and I need to be able to record from the internet as well as from a microphone.

 

I've installed soundflower but now the micropohone is not working in facetime.  What is the proper way to set all this up? 

 

Thank you!

    O.K. fgonoz98

    I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"

    Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:

    1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,

    under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️

    2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:

    under Input highlight microphone.

    3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️

     

    If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:

    (Utilities/Audio, midi setup)

     

    For any other audio device you do this for input and output.

    If you get stock post back
