Q: iMac internal microphone not working in Facetime
The internal microphone of my iMac is not working in FaceTime.
In sound preferences, I have the internal mic set for input, and this is also true in Audio/MIDI setup.
In Facetime, I have Video>Microphone>Internal Microphone selected. There is no corresponding menu item for Audio (perhaps this is the problem?).
When I make a Facetime audio call, I can hear the recipient, but they cannot hear me. This is regardless of whether the call is to a landline or another FaceTime user.
When I make a call in Skype, no problems at all.... so the microphone itself cannot be faulty.
Anything else I can try?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), 3.4HHz Intel i7, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM
