Can I mute internal microphone?

I can find how to turn down the volume on the internal mike but cannot find how to mute it completely? Is it possible to mute the microphone? It would be helpful when using Skype, etc.
Thanks

If you want try going to Utilities>Audio Midi Setup
In here if you choose the built in microphone as your default input.
Then in the bottom right there is a master slider marked M. Tick the mute box. This is another way if you want to mute the mic for anything else apart from skype.

  • Can I mute the microphone during video recording

    I am trying to take video of a real estate property and I do not need to collect the audio - in fact I do not want any audio captured - can I mute the micrphone while taking vido?

    Not with the stock Camera app.  Camera Plus allows you to turn off audio.  Other camera apps probably do as well.

  • Can't get internal microphone to work

    Hi..just got my ibook saturday after many years w a pc....I tried using Ichat, signed in to my Aim account...everything works except the internal mic..I checked system pref to make sure vol was up and mute was off, i have the icon on the top tray at full volume. Is there any way to figure out what's wrong. I called AppCare and was told they didn't know, send it in...I just got it Sat!!
    Any ideas? Thnks

    The squeal you hear is feedback as the microphone picks up the sound its transmitting from the speakers and resampling it. This means you mic definitely works and its a problem with iChat. I've never used it myself but I wud assume if it si a program issue it shudn't involve a trip to a genius. As a convert myself the initial adjustment was a bit strange so it mite be something you've overlooked.

  • Internal microphone on Compaq NX6310 does not work and I can't locate it on my list of devices.

    Internal microphone on Compaq NX6310  does not work and I can't locate it on my list of devices. What is the problem and how can I correct it? Thanks, Brian

    I seriously doubt that Apple will accept your iPad for service/exchange since it sounds like it's a real basket case.  If they
    Do accept it, the cost would be 99USD, but if it is a 64Gb model it will cost 199USD.  The best thing for you to do is to take it into the nearest Apple store to see if they will accept it for repair/exchange.  I can tell you that they definitely will not give you an iPhone in exchange.

  • The internal microphone can't be found?

    Yesterday evening my iBook G3 with OSX 10.3.4 crashed (don't ask me how).. anyway, now the internal microphone can't be found. In the sound settings it just says "no sound input device found". Does anyone know what to do about it?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Chances are that the crash did some damage to your hard drive (which may or may not be the cause of your microphone problem).
    Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, and repair permissions on it.
    See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.
    Every time you have to do a forced shutdown (as when a crash occurs) instead of a normal one, there is a chance of hard drive damage and you should repair the hard drive, either by booting into Safe Mode or starting up from the Mac OS X Install Disk by inserting the disk and restarting your computer, holding down the C key at the end of the startup chime. Then choose Installer>Open Disk Utility and select the disk in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive. Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install CD's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on your hard drive.
    If repairing the hard drive and repairing permissions does not correct the problem, you may want to consider upgrading your OS to 10.3.9. There was a certain version of OS 10.3 that did exhibit problems with the microphone not being recognized, but I'm uncertain as to which version that was, and if yours was recognized in 10.3.4 and then not, that probably isn't your problem. But an upgrade to 10.3.9 wouldn't hurt, following F.J.'s suggestions in the User Tip, Upgrade! But do it right!

    i've a iMac 27', summer of 2012, and my garageband doesn't record by the internal microphone, what can I do, to resolve this problem?
    only for contextualize, in other softwares the microphone record correctly like quicktime, or in facetime, even photobooth. but in garage band not.
    i dont know if its a problem of the software, an error of actualization, or a bad configuration. please give me a hand.
    cheers.

    Did you choose the mic as the input device in Garageband Preferences?

  • Internal Microphone - not responsive, how can I fix?

    Rather than spend a large sum of time at my local Apple Store (especially carrying a fifteen+ pound computer through the mall) I decided to see what I could come up with at home.
    I have the Late-2006 iMac Intel Processor, and I've of course been using it for almost two years. When I got it, the microphone was working stellar, and I was able to easily video chat/conference, no hassle at all. But for a while now (and how long I have been able to cope with this is beyond me) I have found that the microphone has not been picking up much.
    I did some tests, nothing really insane, just got a ruler out and tested how well it picked up noise. It easily picked up tapping when I tapped the exterior of the computer next to the mic. From about six inches away, it could pick up some loud snapping - but it could really only process one or two snaps out of four or five (with a "level" of 7/15 bars of response in the input set up window - for this,and the remainder of these tests, the audio sensitivity was set at its highest setting). From twelve inches away, it could pick up the same amount, just at a lesser volume (5/15 bars)
    Then I did a bit of a speaking test. I sat in front of my computer at a normal distance (18 inches) and tried talking. Nothing picked up. I tried at 12 inches, nothing. Six inches, nothing. Less than an inch away, and with a deepened voice, it got about 3/15 bars of response.
    I tried cleaning it with some compressed gas dusting solution from office max (the kind in the aluminum can that can dust keyboards,etc.) and that picked up around 13-14/15 bars - yet no improvement in the responsiveness of my internal microphone.
    Please, if you know what's up, give me the heads up, so I can schedule an appointment at my Apple Store - and skip some time by giving the guy this information!
    Thanks So Much, best regards!

    Try this. Download onyX (free - just Google it). It's some kind of clean-up software. Click "automation" and tick all the boxes. Then "Execute". Wait some time (20 mins?) until it's all done. Restart. Your mic may well be operating now - it worked for mine!

  • Can I disable the internal microphone

    Hi,
    I have been trying to disable the internal microphone on my eMac (1.42GHz PowerPC G4) with no luck.
    Okay to start at the beginning...we have a new application that uses headset with microphone. I have updated the Sys Pref to point to Line-in, but it does not pick up the external microphone.
    I have updated the Utilities- Audio Midi Setup - Audio Devices - so that the Audio Input also says Line-In.
    I cannot change the System Settings (Default Input/Default Output/System Output/Properties For) which currently say "Built-in Audio', because there is nothing else in the drop list selection.
    It was suggested that I disable the internal microphone to force the Line-In to work, but I can't figure out where to do such a thing.
    Any suggestion? Please.
    Thanks much.
    Stella

    Evidently the headset/microphone combo purchased is not compatible with my eMac. Interestingly using the LineIn add-on I was able to get some sound picked up by the eMac?????
    It turns out the person who originally suggested disabling the internal mic to me had actually flipped her settings back to using the internal mic without knowing it and sent me on a wild goose chase. Thanks all to responders for all your knowledge
