Internal microphone not recording, macbook pro

I am trying to use simplescreenrecorder which records the video fine, however there is no audio even though I have selected "Pulseaudio" and "built-in audio analog stereo" as audio input devices. What should I do to fix this? Thanks in advance. Maybe I am just missing a driver or something.

Don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … es#Bumping

That audio device is normally your audio card (... you can use that as a loopback to record what you hear), not your microphone. What are your other options? post

arecord -lL
pactl list cards 
pactl list sources
pactl list source-outputs

while attempting to record. Have you tried recording directly with e.g. parec or even arecord to rule out SSR issues? FWIW Macbooks are notorious for weird non standard audio pin mappings, chances you are SoL are high.
