When I do try to record, the tiny embedded microphone built into the left of the keyboard is what is recording (instead of my plugged-in mic). Without completely reformatting my drive and reinstalling OS X, how can I figure out why my mic no longer works and fix it?

So there seems to be a problem either with the Macbook Air port (extremely unlikely) or with some sort of software or setting (very likely). I know that my lavalier and iPhones headphones mic still work because I've tested them with other devices today. I've tried to completely uninstall Soundflower and any other audio related programs / extensions. And it also fails to record audio from my iPhone headphones (which also use a 3-striped TRRS type of male plug and have a built-in mic). Now, my Macbook seems unable to use my lavalier mic. (In case it's relevant: over the past few months, I've updated the OS whenever prompted to, and I've also played with audio extensions such as Soundflower to allow recording of Skype calls.)

My lavalier mic uses the 3-striped TRRS type of male plug. I recorded lots of audio narrations of presentations that way.

I use the phone for maybe an hour a day so the headset, Skype, and MacBook Pro is a reasonable solution.I have a Macbook Air 'Early 2014' with OS 10.11.6.ДЄ few months ago, I used a lavalier mic plugged into the headphone/mic jack of this Macbook Air. I have Parallels Desktop I think I could have the USB device work on it or I could use my old Windows laptop. Currently, the only USB devices that work with Skype and a standard phone are compatible with Windows only. IвЂ™d like to put together a USB device that works with Skype with a standard phone because standard phones are more comfortable for some situations. The combination doesnвЂ™t completely replace a real phone, I still use my cell phone on occasion. OS X found the headset quickly and pairing was relatively painless. Also when I tape keyboard the volume display moves up and down but not when I speak.

They can heard me typing but not speaking. It works quite well with both iChat and Skype audio chats. My MacBook Air Internal microphone does not work when using zoom or other meeting aps. Otherwise, the audio quality is quite good. The speaker hits a very odd spot on my ear вЂ“ it hits above my ear canal and falls into a ridge (perhaps a diagram would be helpful). After about that time, the headset became uncomfortable. The headset is comfortable for about an hour and half. Now, IвЂ™m not sure if that is a function of the headset, Skype, or the fact I live in an area with many wireless networks. While the headset does function within 5 meters of my MacBook Pro, the sound quality becomes static-y. The included documentation claims that the headset has a 5 meter range. IвЂ™ve tried out the headset the past two days. Skype is offering free Skype Out calls for at least the end of the year. It can be used with cell phones and VOIP, plus it was about $50 вЂ“ a decent price.

I am unfamiliar with Bluetooth headsets in general and after my wife went through a bunch of reviews, this is the one I chose. The Bluetooth headset I purchased is a Sony Ericsson Akono Headset HBH-608. I have high-speed Internet access, so I decided to use Skype on a MacBook Pro and I just added a Bluetooth headset so I could talk and walk away from my computer if necessary. I have relocated for the summer and I chose not to get a standard phone.
