internal microphone not working with external display

M1 Macbook Pro's microphone works properly when external display is disconnected.

As soon as this is plugged in, even with internal mic selected in settings it does not register any sound.

Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

USB mic, recognised but not working on macbook air M1 Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with my USB microphone on my MacBook. The mic is connected and recognized under System Settings → Sound → Input, but the input level bar doesn’t move when I speak. I have tried: Increasing the input volume in Sound Settings Testing in GarageBand, Audacity, and Voice Memos (none of them pick up sound) Restarting coreaudiod via Terminal Plugging the mic into different USB ports Checking microphone permissions in Privacy & Security Despite all this, the microphone still doesn’t work. If I go very close to the mic, the input bar moves slightly, but recordings are barely audible. I don't have another mac or windows to test it in other devices. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Open the Audio Midi Setup utility and adjust the audio input there.

Also make sure your input is 44.1 Khz 16 bit.
