What is listed under Facetime>Video>Microphone and what is selected under System Preferences>Sound>Input?I played with my Macbook Air and other Apple devices and adding FaceTime to Mic in privacity is not an option. It appears that for Apple apps Mic is allowed by default. I had a FaceTime between my Macbook Air, iPhone and 2013 MacPro and mic/FaceTime worked fine.


Does it work when booted to Safe Mode? It takes minutes to boot. If it works try a normal boot.
