Hello everyone, I recently purchased a referb aluminum 3.06GHz imac. Today I tried to record a video in photo booth and upon playback I realized there was no sound.
I checked in system preferences and sure enough there was no input signal to the mic at all. I cranked the level, tapped on the mic a few times, nothing.
I'd be shocked if it was a hardware problem as I just used the mic a week ago and it worked flawlessly.
As more info I ran Apple's hardware test and received a few different errors every time I ran the test. The initial quick test gave me an 4MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1401 error. I ran the test again, this time checking "extended." The result of that test gave me an 4MOT/2/40000004: HDD-1331 error.
My mac is still under warranty but I wanted to post here to see if there's an easier fix.
Thanks,
CJ
