Built-in microphone macbook air m1 doesn't working partially

The microphone does not work in all applications (including FaceTime) and its signal strength is not displayed in the settings. However, it works when using dictation or using Siri.

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!

MacBook Pro 14-inch 2021 - Microphone cuts out every ~2 seconds On my MacBook Pro 14-inch 2021, running Sequoia 15.3.1, I'm experiencing that the microphone is cutting out every 2 seconds or so. I have tried restart, and changing the audio input level to different levels (~80%, 60%, 40%) - to no avail. Looking for help to fix this - this renders the Mac unusable in any online conference call (zoom, Teams, etc.). Thanks!
