Recently updated, unable to record anything
I have recently update audacity, previous version worked fine, but now nothing is recording. My input devices, audio interfaces, are being detected by the software but when I hit record and test the mic, nothing is recorded. I even have tried the internal mic on the mac and still nothing. Can anyone help me here, what am I missing?

Re: Recently updated, unable to record anything
Are you using macOS 10.14 (Mojave)? If so, go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy and make sure Audacity has permission to use the built-in microphone.

Re: Recently updated, unable to record anything
I am having the same problem with Mojave 10.14 and Audacity 2.3. Audacity says that it recognizes my microphone, I have updated my privacy settings to allow Audacity access to my mic but it still does not record.

Re: Recently updated, unable to record anything
As it turns out the problem was with my microphone. It doesn't work on anything. I've got a new one on order so hopefully that will alleviate the problem.
