Stop the built in mic from decreasing volume during video chat

My mic keeps turning itself down during video chat. I have tried all the obvious things like sys prefs, unchecking ambient noise reduction. It keeps creeping down and the only way to stop it is with a click and hold of the mouse on the slider. I am running Mojave 10.14.6 and Macbook pro and was using Zoom.us.app

Using built-in microphone with closed lid Hello, I noticed that when my MacBook Air 2021 has lid closed I can't use the built-in microphone. As I open the lid .. it again start to work. Someone on another forum told that's 'true' only for MacBook Air. Well .. today I tried my another MacBook Pro 2022 but also stop function microphone when I closed the lid. Again .. on another forum someone said .. it's designed by Apple to stop microphone when lid is closed. I'm confused. Could you clarify?

Internal mic on MacBook Pro not working with Zoom application for audio video conferencing I downloaded Zoom and tested the mic. Not working. Followed the help links. Tried to fix the input the Sound control panel. Can't switch it to internal mic from external, and no option listed to do so. Something in the help referred to the following: "All sound input devices available to your Mac are listed. If your display has an internal microphone, it’s listed as “Display Audio.”" No drop down option for that. How do I get my MacBook Pro to use it's internal mic on Zoom. FaceTime has never been an issue.

MacBook Air volume mute issue MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019) macOS Catalina Recently, I've been experiencing weird bugs regarding the volume of my macbook air. When I am listening to music or watching a youtube video, the volume mutes by itself. When I check the volume again, the volume is back to normal after a while. It keeps on bugging me and I want to know any solution to fix this issue. Is there any way to fix this? or should I just visit apple store? P.S. I think my microphone is also bugging. When I'm in a conference chat in microsoft teams, there is constant error saying that there is no microphone found.

Hi,

Resetting NVRAM could solve the issue.
