After installing macOS Mojave or later, you might see an alert that says audio input isn't accessible when trying to record. Or you might not hear sound, see waveforms, or see audio meters move when recording. To record audio, allow the app to access audio inputs:

1. Close the app you're using to record audio.
2. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Privacy.
3. Click Microphone.
4. Select the checkbox next to an app to allow it to access the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external USB mic, or the inputs on an external audio interface.
   
5. Open the app and try to record audio again.
