Hi,
my internal mic input disappears regularly and I cannot use it for Siri or zoom... Sometimes, after a reboot, the internal mic suddenly appears but sometimes this won't help at all.
Is someone experiencing something comparable or has a solution for this problem? Didn't have this issue with my Intel MacBook Pro.
I'm on BigSur 11.3.

We also recommend starting in safe mode. Sometimes just starting in this mode and then restarting can resolve issues like this: How to use safe mode on your Mac
