Mic muting when making calls with MAC Book Pro - Monterey
When I make audio calls with my MAC Book Pro using Facetime, my Mic mutes for no reason and I have to disconnect and recall to keep it from doing that.

Hey Codgus.
Does that happen with video FaceTime calls as well, or is it specifically limited to audio calls? Does the audio pause within any other app on your Mac? are you running the latest version of Monterey? If not, you may want to backup update. More info on that can be found below:
Before you get started, it's a good idea to back up your Mac. Then follow these steps to find and install any available software updates or upgrades.
- From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose System Preferences.
- In the System Preferences window, click Software Update.
- If your System Preferences doesn't include Software Update, learn how to upgrade to macOS Monterey or upgrade to an older macOS, and use the Updates tab of the App Store app to get app updates.
- Click Update Now or Upgrade Now:
- Update Now installs the latest updates for the currently installed version, such as an update from macOS Big Sur 11.5 to macOS Big Sur 11.6.
- Upgrade Now installs a major new version with a new name, such as macOS Monterey. Software Update shows only upgrades that are compatible with your Mac.
When Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, then macOS and all of the apps it installs are up to date, including Safari, Messages, Mail, Music, Photos, FaceTime, and Calendar.
If you downloaded any apps from the App Store, use the App Store to get updates for those apps.
If an error occurs while installing an update or upgrade, learn how to resolve installation issues.
That info comes from Update macOS on Mac
Take care!
