    Best Microphone for Calls?

    I currently have 1st gen AirPods Pro and the microphone quality isn't that great. I've been told that only 70% of my speech is comprehensible to the person on the other end. I'm looking for a great sounding headset so people can hear me better. I'm even fine with using a cable, just as long as...

    Old bug with Siri on Macbook Pro that stops listening to external microphone still not fixed

    I have a Macbook Pro (M3 Pro) that is almost always with its lid closed (clamshell mode), connected to an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a Logitech Webcam C930e that also functions as an external microphone. The machine is always connected to power. When you restart the machine Siri...

    iPad Air iPad Air 11 M2

    I just got the new iPad Air 11 M2 and have paired my AirPods. I can hear out of the AirPods but my iPad does not hear me when I speak. I am using a Zagg XTR screen protector which I notice covers the front facing camera and speaker. But would that affect my AirPods recognizing my voice??? I...

    Microphone mode has disappesred

    The three microphone mode options in iOS 17 (Standard, Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum) by swiping down from the top right corner, don’t appear in the same place in the current iOS 18 beta. Has anyone found these options elsewhere in the system, or perhaps they’ve been removed for the current...

    Headphone Output Confusion When Using Focusrite Interface

    For participating in Zoom meetings, I use a USB microphone (Blue Yeti). When I plug my headphone jack into the mic, I can hear the meeting audio and my microphone output in my headphones. I recently added the Focusrite interface (for my guitar), and tested plugging the headphone jack into the...

    Voice Isolation Feature on M3 MacBook Air

    The new MacBook Air series (13 and 15 inch) is advertised to have Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum microphone modes and Enhanced voice clarity in video calls. This is confusing because the M2 series of the Macbook Air, as well as the M2 and M3 Pro series have had the Voice Isolation and Wide...

    HomePod Can you disable the microphone on a homepod mini?

    Simple question; just as the title says. For those who want some backstory: I have purchased a series of matter enabled homekit accessories, and to my surprise they don't work without a homekit hub. I have an M1 Ultra Mac Studio and an iPhone 13, but for reasons I absolutely fail to understand...

    Question about hooking up multiple mics to a MacBook

    This is a somewhat different sort of question than the usual.... My car is making a noise. I can't quite track down where it's coming from, and passengers disagree about where it sounds like it's originating from--even whether it's in the front or the back. So I thought I could hook up at...

    Anyone else finding macOS reporting iPhone camera, microphone, and desk view activations while devices are asleep?

    Hello: I've posted this question and two other places, one of which being Apple Support Discussions forum, and so far no one seems to know what's going on here. I've decided to see whether you all have a guess. I have debated whether this is an iOS or macOS issue, because technically it's the...

    iOS 17 (17.0.2, 17.0.3, 17.1) breaking microphone functionality on many new and old iPhones

    Hi, my iPhone 13 Pro started to show a not working microphone some weeks ago. But only for dictation, speaker phone, voice memo. Normal phone call is working. Apple support is clueless and speculated about a HW failure. It is not a HW failure! Please give the community and Apple a heads up on...

    What is the hole on the left side of the lightning port on AirPods Pro 2 charging case?

    I can't find anything on this mysterious hole on the bottom of the new charging case. It's certainly not a speaker, as far as I know Apple does not present this hole as something making sound on the promo shots & website (why would there be another speaker on the left with a single hole?) but...

    AirPods Pro improved Microphone Quality!! :-)

    My friends and I have noticed that since the iOS 16 upgrade (along with the firmware for the AirPod Pros) that the noise canceling quality of using the microphone works really well. This is true over the cell network and also with FaceTime. This is with really busy background noise, not too...

    iPod 30-pin Microphones for 6th Gen Ipod Nano?

    Has anyone ever used one of the 30-pin iPod external mics on the 6th Gen Nano? I've heard those that work on the 4th and 5th Gen Nanos will work on the 6th, but I'm not sure if the are talking about the 30-Pin mics, or the one that use the 3.5mm jack. To be clear, I'm only asking about the...

    Stop input switching on Big Sur

    Basically, Id like to stop the MacBook from switching my input from the built in mic, my external mic, or whatever mic I select in the system preferences window to the airpods mic when I connect them to the macbook (as it makes sound output fuzzy and not nice). Is there any way to set a default...

    Basic set-up question regarding my new Blue Yeti microphone. I'm using it with my iMac plugged directly into USB port in the iMac itself. The microphone works fine and I don't have any difficulty with it functioning as a microphone. My question is this - I don't understand why the setup...
