Microphone requires separate access privileges from camera video.

Confirm you granted them in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab > Microphone.

Webcam mic not working properly I bought an Imilab/Xiaomi webcam for my mac mini and the mic is not working properly. The sound is very muffled, there's a constant hiss with a few clicks. I tested this webcam on a PC and a different webcam on my mac mini, and they both worked. Any ideas of what I should do? I cannot find any specific drivers for this webcam.
