    Question about hooking up multiple mics to a MacBook

    This is a somewhat different sort of question than the usual.... My car is making a noise. I can't quite track down where it's coming from, and passengers disagree about where it sounds like it's originating from--even whether it's in the front or the back. So I thought I could hook up at...

    Anyone else finding macOS reporting iPhone camera, microphone, and desk view activations while devices are asleep?

    Hello: I've posted this question and two other places, one of which being Apple Support Discussions forum, and so far no one seems to know what's going on here. I've decided to see whether you all have a guess. I have debated whether this is an iOS or macOS issue, because technically it's the...

    iOS 17 (17.0.2, 17.0.3, 17.1) breaking microphone functionality on many new and old iPhones

    Hi, my iPhone 13 Pro started to show a not working microphone some weeks ago. But only for dictation, speaker phone, voice memo. Normal phone call is working. Apple support is clueless and speculated about a HW failure. It is not a HW failure! Please give the community and Apple a heads up on...

    What is the hole on the left side of the lightning port on AirPods Pro 2 charging case?

    I can't find anything on this mysterious hole on the bottom of the new charging case. It's certainly not a speaker, as far as I know Apple does not present this hole as something making sound on the promo shots & website (why would there be another speaker on the left with a single hole?) but...

    AirPods Pro improved Microphone Quality!! :-)

    My friends and I have noticed that since the iOS 16 upgrade (along with the firmware for the AirPod Pros) that the noise canceling quality of using the microphone works really well. This is true over the cell network and also with FaceTime. This is with really busy background noise, not too...

    iPod 30-pin Microphones for 6th Gen Ipod Nano?

    Has anyone ever used one of the 30-pin iPod external mics on the 6th Gen Nano? I've heard those that work on the 4th and 5th Gen Nanos will work on the 6th, but I'm not sure if the are talking about the 30-Pin mics, or the one that use the 3.5mm jack. To be clear, I'm only asking about the...

    Stop input switching on Big Sur

    Basically, Id like to stop the MacBook from switching my input from the built in mic, my external mic, or whatever mic I select in the system preferences window to the airpods mic when I connect them to the macbook (as it makes sound output fuzzy and not nice). Is there any way to set a default...

    iPhone 7 Plus mics not working at all

    Hello. If I can't record any sound on 7 Plus and also nobody can hear me when calling (even on headphones), could it be a problem with iPhone's logic board? Has anyone any experience with such an issue?

    After reassembling a 2017 21.5" retina iMac (the one where there is a single mic at the bottom of the display, as opposed to previous generations which had 2 mics near the iSight at the top), and being careful that the adhesive strips on the bottom don't block the mic, I noticed the microphone...
