After I update to Monterrey my built-in mic stopped working. I already checked the input in system preferences and maxed out the volume, but it still doesn't work. What can I do?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0
Try the following: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support and How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
And lastly, if needed, boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
