audacity wont recognize my usb external mic [Solved]

I’m on a Macbook Air running OS X 10.9.5 and have plugged in a USB mic CAD U37. Have gone thru Mac preferences>sound>input to recognize this mic. Then open Audacity but can’t get it to see the mic. Have gone to Preferences>Devices> and Built-in Mic is the only option. Same thing when I open a new track and there is a drop down bar for Built-in Mic. It doesn’t show any other option.

Then open Audacity but can’t get it to see the mic.

How about you “woke up” Audacity and it was a ready running? Audacity checks for new hardware and devices when it starts. Either restart Audacity or Transport > Rescan…

Thanks so much. I had done that before submitting the question with no luck. But now magically it works! :confused:
