Microphone not working anymore. Hello everyone, last night i was in a conference call on google meet while my macbook air ran out and turned off suddenly. I turned it back on and went back to the conference and everything worked well. When I closed the conference, I connected to discord and I realized that my integrated microphone was not transmitting anything anymore. Connecting an external microphone instead works. I am worried because it has never happened to me, I have looked around a bit but in the audio section everything seems correct. So I went to the MIDI audio section and noticed them that the input channels are stuck at 0. What can I do? Thanks In System preference --> Sound: All is correct but if I do something no audio is recorded This one is about MIDI Sound, you can see the master sound working but I can not interact with stream master 1 and 2 (they are blocked into 0)

In macOS High Sierra still a sound problem with the headphones port MacOS 10.13.6 (17G12034) Suddenly the sound of the Built-in Output of my mac mini 2010 was silent. My stereo amplifier connected with an analog cable does not give any sound I expected. So I had some issues before with iTunes due to my external drives which were suddenly disconnected from my Mac. I will save you from the mash to get my music back in iTunes. But suddenly my headphone port keeps silent. My LED Cinema sounded ok. So I almost planned to buy a new Mac 😅. Luckily there was a remedy for this stupid problem with the sound port in this community. The Audio MIDI Setup app should fix the problem. Just set the format for all ports at "2 ch 16-bit Integer 44,1 kHz". The Built-In Output was set at "2 ch 24-bit Integer 44,1 kHz"... 😮 Why? How? I really don't know. May be because I connected my BOSS RC-30 looper to the Mac's USB bus. Maybe that event has initiated this problem.

Hey there April2568,

We see you're having some issues with missing input and output devices on your Mac.

We'd like to try a few steps with you to see if we can resolve the issues with sound.

First, disconnect any external speakers or microphones you may have plugged in. From there, try an SMC reset with the following steps:
