Instead of the 3.5mm jack on the M1, I use a DAC USB adapter by Creative Labs - Soundblaster (Play3!).
It connects to your USB port and digitally separates the microphone and headset which I need for my VOIP phone line headset.
The sound output is much better than the analog 3.5mm output!

I have a USB mic built in to my Logitech webcam. It works fine when the audio input is set to the Webcam. Maybe there's something about your particular mic that doesn't work with the mini? Perhaps you can try some other mic to see.
Tried my a USB mic/headset with the mini...no sound coming out. Both devices work with all of my other Macs and other computers. I saw online where other people are having the same issue only with the M1 Mac Mini.
Weird...
So...just to be clear..I've tried 2 different USB devices on the M1 Mac Mini with the same result. All settings are correct. Have been a Mac owner/user for decades, so I know what to look for...but this has me stumped.
Go to System Preferences > Sound > Output.
Select Mac mini Speakers (or your headphones/speakers)
Hope this helps :D
Yeah...all settings are correct (looooong time Mac-er). My USB mic works fine on my 3 MacBook Pro's and older MacBook. I've read where this may be an issue with the M1 chip...?
