Internal Mic not working for phone calls in Yosemite

Hi Everyone!

My internal mic isn't working for phone calls using Continuity. I can hear the other side on my Mac, but they can't hear me.

Any ideas?

Some facts:

Making/receiving calls works fine on from my iPad using Continuity. (Which indicates to me that the iPhone is working fine)
Everything has been updated to Yosemite / iOS 8.1
FaceTime works fine on my mac. I can see/hear AND speak to the other side. (Which indicates that that internal mic is working fine)
Under System Preferences / Sound / Input, the "Input" has the Internal Mic/Built In chosen. When speaking, I can see the sound bar moving. (i.e. the mic is picking up my voice)
The mac with the problem is a MBPro 13" 2013 model with Yosemite

Given all of the above, when someone calls, I can hear them but they can't hear me.

Same problem. It used to work but somewhere along the way stopped. Internal mic works everywhere except for when making calls through the iPhone. I can hear them but nothing from me.

I had exactly this same issue and your workaround solved the problem. Thanks!

Try restarting the computer. Core Audio should reload automagically.

Dito here too. On a new Mac Pro I can hear them fine but they cannot hear me.I would think they

would send a fix soon with this many people with the same issue.

This worked for me although the audio quality wasn't very good for the person listening to me speak. I believe this is down to the built in microphone.
