garageband volume too low when recording I've been using Garageband for years to record conversations; I just set up my laptop nearby and record, without an external microphone. Yesterday when I tried to do this, the volume was really low. The numbers on the display (I had it set to "time") were red, and while recording it was almost a flat line, like the volume was turned down very low. The volume is turned the whole way up; I verifed in system preferences that Garageband had permission to use the built in microphone; Nothing has changed since I recorded a conversation about 2 weeks ago. Any suggestions? Oh, it's Garageband v 10.3.4

My built in microphone does not appear to be working. I have been trying to record my voice in Garageband 10.3.1. I cannot get it to work. Also, I have been unable to use dictation in word. I have been to Sounds in the System and checked. It appears correctly set up. I recently upgraded to Mojave. Oddly enough the microphone seems to work inputting my voice into Audacity.
