  mic not working

  Posted by Jules Watkins on July 9, 2009 at 8:41 am

  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,
