Can't get any audio input - and no, it's not microphone permission!

I had to switch to a Dante network instead of USB to connect to my audio interface (a Behringer WING) and I can't get Logic to receive any audio input. Output works fine. The first thing I checked was Microphone in Privacy and Security and it's turned on for Logic Pro. I even tried turning it off and then Logic complained that it needed to be on - so the problem would not seem to be due to that security issue.


I know for certain that Dante is not the issue because I was able to run Digital Performer, Audacity, Ableton Live and Gig Performer with no problems - flawless.


I'm running the latest version of Logic Pro on a MacMini (Apple Silicon) running the latest version of Sonoma. Any insights would be appreciated....it's extremely frustrating.


Thanks in advance

iMac 27″, macOS 11.7

Check the Control Center on the top right of MacOS menu bar. It's where your volume control, network setting etc are located. You should see an orange microphone while Logic is running. Click on it and change to standard. This is a common topic since Sonoma was released.


Hope this helps.

You got me my friend. I don't have a newer mac (yet) that has that feature. I only know about it because there have been several posts in the last couple of weeks on the Logic forum. From my understanding the feature is supposedly to allow the removal of background noise when using FaceTime, Garage Band and evidently Logic with a microphone. The aftermarket Daws aren't as integrated and has probably saved them from this odd behavior.


I'm getting ready to upgrade to Apple Silicon soon. I'm thinking of Mac Mini M1 or M2. Are you having good results with yours? Which Mini do you have and how much memory?

Well, I hope they stay not integrated! That seems like an absurd and useless feature. I'm certainly not going to require that with the plugin host that I develop.


I have an Apple M2 Pro Mac Mini with 32Gb --- seems to work very well though Sonoma has some terrible bugs in it.
