2011, 27" iMac, 3.4 i7, 24GB, GTX 780M | Monterey 12.7.4 | OCP 2.4.1

Input bar shows normal mic activity in System Preferences but no matter what I do (I've tried absolutely everything)
I can't get ANY device input to Garageband now. NOT EVEN THE BUILT-IN MICROPHONE, I even installed a copy of High Sierra on a spare HDD, Launched GB and low and behold i get an input as expected to everywhere no worries at all.

Wondering if this is a known about and fixed OCLP issue as I have a feeling it has something to do with permissions not actually asking for "microphone" usage for GB. This is the case on every edition of GB I've tried, Discord, Facebook Calls also dont work. I can hear output from the iMac at all times just fine but there is NO INPUT AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE.

Please help :)
