VoiceOver/Record Audio

Question

I have been able to capture voiceovers with the record audio button in FCP but all of a sudden for no particular reason this function has stoppped working. Now whenever i attempt to capture audio the little box pops up but the dropdown where you are supposed to select the destination is blank:
If i try to hit record anyway it begins to record and it seems to be working except the recording does not appear in my timeline. Also i cannot click the end recording button i have to close the record audio box by the little "x" on the upper left.

Answer 1

Ok - I have made screen captures of the proper settings in the Midi Audio Setup:
  For The DEFAULT INPUT -- Microphone:
    For Built in Output Set AS Default in Midi Audio Devices:
So in Audio Midi setup make certain that the internal Mic has a mic to the right of it (default)
and the Speaker Icon (Built in Output) has a Mac System Icon & speaker icon to the right of it showing it tobe the default.
If yours doesn't look like the above, click on the gear and - with ONLY the internal Mic or built in speakers
selected above - make them the default.
IN The SYSTEM SETTINS ---  SOUND ----
     The Output should be internal speakers -- NOT MUTED
And for the input in Sound sysytem Settings, make sure out put volume is NOT muted:
If you have your system set up correctly, as you snap your fingers ot speak, you should
be able to see the input level respond in real time  (This is what Final Cut "sees"):
IN system sound, the soundflower outputs are muted and it says - The selected device has no output controls
The same for the sounflower (64ch) - "No Output Controls" and muted.
Click on the ? in any of the above windows on your own computer to see selected in depth help on this.
   Now you should be able to use the recorder in FCP X w/o issue, in real time. it will save your audio in the event or project that you are "in" or have selected in the browser.
