Unfortunately skype is where I first noticed the internal mic wasn't
working after having used audacity.

Hi Jonathan.
I've gpt Audacity on my iMac and the mike works fine - I use it when
I'm using Skype and there doesn't seem to be any problem - yet!

Thanks gentlemen.
I think I will have to do a bit more investigating but I hope I'm
not going to regret using Audacity. Does this mean that,
potentially, I may never be able to use the internal mic for the
rest of the imac's life? That would be a real arseache!

It's not the same thing, but I did have an odd audio issue with
Audacity a few years ago on my old iMac (with OS 10.2!). I had
set something in the Audacity preferences that meant that all the
audio that came into the iMac was somehow mixed to the output (via
the built-in speakers) at all times. From then on everything that
I recorded on the iMac - even on other packages - sounded like I
was recording in a bathroom!
I know what happened - somehow Audacity output the direct input
sound together with a delayed "digitised" sound at the same time -
but I did not know HOW it happened - or how to reverse it. It
remained a problem until the day the iMac died!
I just think that Audacity is a bit dangerous on Macs!

I've always found Audacity a bit screwy -- if powerful. I often
use iMovie to record audio now instead.
but you may have set something in Audacity to zero, so it makes
the system match?

I have used perfectly well on my Macbook pro. However, since
putting it on my imac, my internal mic is not picking up any
levels. I have tried resetting it in preferences but to no
avail. I noticed by chance however, that when I run Audacity on
the imac it automatically sends the input volume in system
preferences/sound to zero level. Does anyone know whether this
is something easily fixable or whether removing the Audacity
application will sort it?
