Microphone location on M1 MacBook air

[Corgirat]

Can someone tell me where a microphone is located on M1 MacBook Air ? People can’t hear me well in a zoom meeting even though I already adjusted input level higher in setting. Anyone experiencing same thing?

There are microphones on the let side and I believe one under the keyboard. You can see the grill holes for the microphones if you look closely.

Thanks! This is helpful. Picture indicates microphone on the left side but the description says “Microphones: Talk with friends or record audio with multiple built-in microphones. “
I wonder these multiple microphones are all on the left side??

I understand it's a three-mic array, but I haven't seen a teardown that shows what that looks like. Maybe you'll come across one.

I just had the same problem. I took the bottom part of the case I put on it and suddenly my mic is work again. The only thing I can think of is the flaps on the side that come up and over to lock in place must have covered the mic or mics.

That sounds interesting to take a look at but not sure where you are talking about. Is it possible for you to upload a picture showing it?? I do have covers? Cases? On it

These are photos of the bottom plate I took off and suddenly my mic started to work again.

Got it!! Thank you so much. I wish I didn’t have to but I’ll try this out! I really appreciate it because I never would’ve come up with this experiment on my own.
