Do I have a built in Microphone. How do I set up. Never knew I had it. Could save me lots of time.

I thought you said you saw "internal microphone"? If you did, it is there. I can't imagine Apple has built an iMac ever without a microphone. It's probably just well hidden as on my computer. Maybe it is up near the camera but I don't want to poke around.


Have you tried talking while in Sound preferences? Do you see anything on the input level bar?
