“Use ambient noise reduction” Option missing ! Help please!

Hi there, Srubio47.

I see that the "Use ambient noise reduction" setting for the microphone on your 2014 MacBook Pro isn't there any longer. Good job trying a fresh install, and I'm glad to help with this.

Change the sound input settings on Mac -- This page of the macOS User Guide provides one reason why it's missing:

Capture less background noise when using your computer’s built-in microphone: Select “Use ambient noise reduction.” This option is not available if a 4-channel built-in microphone format is selected in Audio MIDI Setup."

How to use safe mode on your Mac -- If that's not the case in your situation, restart your Mac in safe mode and see if the setting is present. If it's still missing, the steps under "If the issue continues in safe mode” recommends to reinstall, but also make sure your 3rd party applications are also up to date. If the setting is there, follow the steps provided under "If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode"

Let me know the results when your able,

Take care.

FWIW, I checked three of my Macs running 10.15.4 and this doesn't seem to be true…

'Select “Use ambient noise reduction.” This option is not available if a 4-channel built-in microphone format is selected in Audio MIDI Setup."'

I don't have a "4-channel built-in microphone format" selected on any of my Macs and the option to turn off ambient noise reduction is not available.

Por favor, también tengo el mismo problema, quiero eliminar el reductor de ruido pero no puedo.

No tengo un "formato de micrófono incorporado de 4 canales"

Tengo un imac 2017 con Mojave 10.14.4

Ayudame por favor, gracias.

TRASLATER:

Please, I also have the same problem, I want to remove the noise reducer but I can't.

I don't have a "4 channel built-in microphone format"

I have an imac 2017 with Mojave 10.14.4

Help me please, thanks.

I reported this with my 2015 MBP 13 and 2018 MBP 13 after upgrading both to Catalina in like November. I was told its a known bug that will get resolved soon, but I've seen many iterations of 10.15 get released since I was told it would be fixed and I still don't have the option. I've had to purchase a jabra puck to have ambient noise reduction. When I work from home I need the background noise reduction so my coworkers can't always hear my kids and this was a huge disappointment that I had to buy an external mic/speaker to work from home.
