Hello peterlawrence,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand the volume of your microphone on a MacBook Air is low. We'll be happy to help.

To help troubleshoot this behavior, we recommend to reset the NVRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory). Here's an article with additional details and the proper steps to take: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac

Kind regards.
