Logged into a zoom call the other day to find my mic not working.
Tested in app - dead.
Reverted to the SO's MBA for the call.
On this iMac:
When using Facetime or Siri - no problem.
Every other app (zoom, PhotoBooth, skype ...) the mic did not work.
Tried all the obvious things (settings, permissions, etc) and even an
SMC reset.
Nothing.
Then near the bottom of a "how to set your mic" page on howtogeek,
something about turning keyboard dictation on / off in settings. It was already on, and turning it off fixed the issue. Works whether that
setting is left on or off now.
Weird one for the books.
