I have a microphone connected to a Universal Audio interface (Apollo Twin X), but the ChatGPT desktop app does not recognize the mic input, even though I’ve selected it correctly in macOS settings. I can see the input in my settings, but the app still doesn’t recognize it. When I switch to my Studio Display mic, the voice feature in the app works, but that’s not ideal.
Device: M1 Max MacBook Pro
OS: macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 (23H222)
Hi,
Not very helpful I’m afraid but I have the same issue. I have my mic connected to a Focusrite Scarlet Solo 4th gen. It’s selected in settings, in settings I can see that the system picks it up. I can record in Logic Pro, Quicktime Audio, OBS etc all fine.
ChatGPT however doesn’t see the mic, I’ve checked system preferences and security and chatgpt has the mic allowed, it’s allowed in accessibility as well.
Interestingly I also installed SuperWhisper yesterday and have exactly the same issue there with it not seeing the mic.
I’ve tried uninstalling both apps, clearing out preferences and system preferences but it didn’t make a difference.
I also went into the midi app in utilities and changed the sample rate but it didn’t make a difference.
Any other app that needs a mic on the system works, just these two and they’re both AI.
All f this is on a M4 Mac mini running Sequoia.
They work on a M1 MacBook Pro using the default mic.
Not sure what else to try with the Mini though but it’s driving me insane.
Did you ever figure this out?
Just to add to this. The Mic I am using is a Fifine AM8. I just disconnected it from the audio interface (XLR connection) and connected it via USB.
Worked immediately without issue. So it seems the problem or rather the common thread is audio coming in via an audio interface.
Hello, I am having this exact problem with my AT 2035 connected via Focusrite 4i4. It works everywhere except the GPT app (neither voice chat nor dictate). When I use voice chat function on GPT online, my mic is automatically muted. Once I unmute, it recognizes the mic. However the dictate function doesn’t work online either. What is going on?? Did you figure this out?
