Mic in my MBP on El Capitan does not work

I am running a Mac Mini (early 2009) on El Capitan. In trying to connect to Zoom I found that the Mic does not work. I opened Preferences, Sound and Input and verified that the mic is not working. I also went to Preferences, opened Security & Privacy, and found that the mic is not shown in the left pane. Will apprecite your insights to solve this problem

Mac mini, OS X 10.11

Mac mini’s do not have internal microphones.


You need to use the microphone in a USB web camera or get and use a USB microphone.
