Hey GavrielTech,


We understand that you're no longer able to use your external microphone to record your Mac screen, and must use the internal microphone. Are you able to choose the Microphone input in Quicktime, and does the microphone show connected when viewing System Preferences > Sound > Input? More details and some tips for recording can be found under "Use QuickTime Player" here: How to record the screen on your Mac


Keep us posted.


Thanks, and take care.

I think you do know what I am saying but write this in a funny way,


I wish Apple stopped removing and breaking features as simple as QT screen recording with built in virtual bus options, as always I like all their abused customers are forced to resort to a 3rd party to solve this temporarily, meaning apple will eventually and intentionally break that too., I believe people are catching up with this game.


I am now using loopback and blackhole
