Voice memo inactive

I often use voice memo's to document creative ideas for projects. For the life of me I don't understand why my voice memo application always gave me hassles on my iMac. I'll drop the model information below. I am using the most recent software.

Here is my issue:

When I open the app and click the record button it simply does nothing.

Dear Apply community, should I opt for using another app? or is there a solution to this?

With gratitude

Boot into Safe Mode by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following;

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
