That is correct. None of the Mac Mini models ever had a built-in microphone.

Yes, you need to get either an external USB mic or a Mac compatible headset w/mic.

No Internal Microphone for Mac mini M1 (2020) Apple support advised me that I am unable to avail myself of SIRI on this new computer because there is no microphone, contrary to most all reviews written about this new state of the art computer. Unbelievable! Does anyone have a workaround without having to wear headphones with microphone all day? Thank you
