Only thing missing is option for internal microphone in System pref/ sounds. I have feedback window and there is a mic logo in input volume, an I have a calibration window. have Lion and have only done updates.. have not seen a fix for this. Most questions like this are not answered. ..Peace
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
As far as I know, there is no "internal" microphone inside of Mac Pro.
See for more detail about supported microphones.

how is it supposed to do speech recognition then? I am sure I used that a few months ago. And Mountain Lion has Dictation program built in, which I read excert from Mac World article."There are some limitations to OS X’s dictation tool. First, if you use your Mac’s internal microphone, the sound quality of your voice won’t be great. Since speech recognition depends on picking up on some subtle vocal distinctions, you might find that your results are not ideal." I just want it for commands, but dictation would be pretty kool. thanx Kaz, but I hope that is not the case.
Have you got a MacPro or a MacBook Pro?
its a macpro lion. so i guess only the macbook pro has the internal mic?
Macbook Pro and Macbook, iMac as well have internal microphone.

Thanx Kaz. off to buy a mic..
If you're using it with a 27" cinema display, that has a microphone in it.
off to buy a mic..
Note that the Mac Pro audio input is line-level, so will need a preamp to work with a normal microphone.
You can use USB microphones, such as:

internal/built in microphone not working, I know it did before?
