Hi David!
In OSX 10.14 and 10.15 the System Preference => Privacy settings now have a feature to control third-party access to the mic and camera. The problem my students are encountering is that miniAudicle doesn't show up as an identified app on the list, so they can't click the box to allow access, and thus they can't use adc in ChucK.
Hmm. On Mojave I see miniAudicle on the System Preferences => Privacy settings under "Microphone". I don't remember if I did anything to grant access, but it does appear for me. Can someone shed some light on this issue?
Is there either: a) a ChucK workaround?
There will be some audio device-related fixes in the next release, but likely unrelated to this.
OR b) a system file or something to which miniAudicle can be manually added as a recognized app that uses the microphone?
Good question. Will look into it.
