Spencer, 
  Yes. It seems to be affecting people with OSX 10.14 or 10.15 with new installs of ChucK. (I have seen three separate cases now.) Your suggested temporary fix won't work, because, as I pointed out in my first post, the problem is that miniAud is not listed as an option in Privacy -> Microphone.

Scott,
  Thanks for your reply too, but the issue is that we DO want to use the mic. So commenting it out won't help. miniAudicle runs fine for these people otherwise (i.e., there are no crashes, and the UGens work, etc.)

p.s. I also have never resolved my last miniAud vs. hardware issue in which it will not receive any trackpad data from a set of 2012 MacBooks. 


It has been a frustrating semester since the trackpad doesn't work on the old laptops and the mic doesn't work on the new ones.

Hey David,

Thanks for noting this for us- Im guessing theres some kind of whitelist if you used miniAudicle with audio input before upgrading to Mojave, as neither Ge nor I seem to be having this issue. 

Do you see "miniAudicle" listed under System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy > Microphone? If so, checking this box next its listing may work as a temporary fix while we pursue a permanent solution.

Scott,
  For the unskilled, do you have step-by-step instructions for the "easy workaround"?

  In my own attempts, I have been (unsuccessfully) trying to alter the Info.plist to force it to prompt for Mic access.

Thanks,

PS - I’ve seen a version of this issue with Chunity and Unity when building games for MacOS and running them on Mojave or Catalina.  There is an easy workaround that involves commenting out the mic setup stuff in the ChuckMainInstance (thanks Jack!), but I’m wondering if there may be other sticky issues…?

This looks promising for trying to manually convince the system that miniAudicle needs microphone access:

Emne: Mojave/Catalina mic access issues
 
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.

Is there either: 
   a) a ChucK workaround?
OR
   b) a system file or something to which miniAudicle can be manually added as a recognized app that uses the microphone?


Thanks,
