    I have been happily importing clips direct from inbuilt webcam camera in MBP via i movie, but suddenly I have picture but no audio

    when I check system pref. audio, there is no ‘internal mic’ option just external mic port and , audio line, and display audio usb

    when i am in prefs..there is no audio showing on the bars

    is this right..any clues why? am i missing something

    thanks

    os 10.5.7

    Have you checked your system profiler? Finder>Applications>Utilities>System Profiler? Under “Hardware (first dropdown) about the third item down ought to be “Audio (Built-in)”. Double click and see if you still have an internal mic.

    Good luck,
