No camera or audio available MacBook Air

While I lost the use of my built-in microphone a few years ago (still don't know why), I always had access to my built-in iSight camera. But when I tried using it today, the FaceTime application said "No camera available." I don't know if it's to do with upgrading to Sierra, or what. But I'd love it if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks!

PROBLEM AREA FOUND - thanks to lukefrombrno on another Apple support thread.

He found that the problem lies in the MIDI default settings.

Since I've never launched or touched this App I gave it a go and it fixed the issue in minutes.

Sound returned every time after numerous reboots as well.

1) Spotlight search for the App - Audio MIDI Setup - Launch the App

2) Change the default Format settings to 2 ch / 16 bit / 44.1Mhz for all your devices on the Left

3) Once all are set the same, close the App. Tap your volume ctrl and the click click click should be

music to your ears ( It certainly was to mine after months of silence )

OK APPLE - GET TO WORK PATCHING IN 10.12.4 !!!!
