I’ve turned on Apple Intelligence and Siri in my settings, but Siri doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve even tried saying ‘Hey Siri,’ but it doesn’t respond. I also checked if there’s an option to set it up, but there isn’t.
I’ve even connected the microphone to my Mac mini, since it doesn’t come with one built-in, but it still doesn’t work.
Any help you can give me would be really appreciated!
Even got Siri Responses :
I have a Mac Studio with no internal microphone, and an external microphone. To get Siri to listen for "Hey Siri", I must get its attention by clicking the Siri icon in the menu bar, or by using the keyboard shortcut. The "Listen for" option mentioned in Customize Siri on Mac - Apple Support does not exist.
To be fair, the Support article says, "If available for your device and language, you can choose to activate Siri by using “Hey Siri” or “Siri.”" (emphasis mine)

Hi, I noticed the same issue. Apparently "Hey Siri" is not available on the M4 Mac mini - something to do with having no internal mic. There is a good post on the applevis.com website that seems to address this. I will include a link, but it may be removed - I am not sure of Apple allows external links on this site.
Thanks, yes. Seems odd not to get “Hey Siri” support for these reasonably powerful machines. The need for hands on is a bit of a nuisance. Perhaps Apple are reserving the feature for higher end (read, “more expensive”) equipment.
Yes I did... still it doesn't work
After you connected the microphone, did you go into System Settings > Sound and select it as the Input device?
My mac mini m4 doesn't have hey siri option in the settings
