10/20/10 @ 3:02 pm The microphone isn’t “enabled” or “disabled” — you either use it or not. So I’m not sure what you are trying to do. For instance, if you want to record your voice into an audio application, you use it. If you don’t want to record your voice into an audio application, then you wouldn’t be using an application like that. You can go into System Preferences, Sound, Input and then turn the input level down to nothing. Is that what you tried? If so, then how do you know “that doesn’t work” — what did you try to do that made you think the mic was still allowing you to record?

Some sound applications have their own independent sound input level controls — but if your goal is to not use the microphone, I’m not sure why you would be using the application to being with. 10/20/10 @ 3:15 pm Hi Gary, Regarding what I tried, yes I went into Sound, Input, and turned the input level all the way down. Yet when I speak, my voice level still appears on the little “Input Level” graph underneath the “Input Volume” sliding graph.
If the host has given you microphone rights, you should now be able to click on the microphone icon at the top menu. If you see an Adobe Flash Player pop-up, click 'Allow' and your microphone icon should turn green. You should now be able to speak. Facebook suggested an ad for me today for something I had only mentioned to my boyfriend in passing. I do not want Facebook to access my microphone for any reason at any time. I would like to know how to turn this off. If you previously disallowed Discord access to your mic in Chrome, you will need to enable it in your Google Chrome settings in order to use it once again.

What I’m trying to do is stream a video of myself but I want to use an external microphone instead of the built in microphone. Perhaps the internal microphone disables automatically when an external mic is plugged in? I haven’t tried this but it just came to mind. 5/1/11 @ 11:14 pm My problem is that I want to record from the input jack on my MacBook Pro without having ambient sound picked up by the built-in microphone at the sametime.
