You can’t record sound using an external microphone or the microphone built in to your monitor.

mAny time you want to record sound, you need to make sure your sound input source is set to “External Microphone.” Open the Monitors & Sound control panel in the Apple (K) menu, click the Sound icon, and choose “External Microphone” from the Sound Input pop-up menu.

mIf you’re using your monitor’s built-in microphone to record, use the Monitors & Sound control panel to make the monitor’s speakers mute. In the same control panel, make sure that the sound input is set to the monitor’s built-in microphone.

For additional help, see the “Sound” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu in the upper-right corner of your screen.
