Catalina microphone issue with Audacity

[steve]

Hi,

I recently upgraded operating systems on my mac.

I downloaded the latest compatible version of audacity for the 64bit os. trouble is, audacity and my computer both recognise my irig microphone but I can’t seem to record using my microphone or the system mic. I tried checking system preferences->security and privacy-> privacy but when I click on microphone no applications appear to have requested permission so i cannot select anything.

Have you tried this: No recording level
