my MacBook Pro M1 is not reading or listing external devices

my MacBook Pro M1 is not reading or listing external devices when connected. For example: When plugging into garageband it won't list my ext. mic. So I can't click on it to use it.

Make sure to allow macOS to access the mic by adding the mic in the "Security & Privacy" System Preferences:

Control access to the microphone on Mac - Apple Support
