<p>There are a couple of things you can check on your system:</p>
<ol>
<li>Does your Mac have a microphone attached? You can double-check the "Input" tab under "Sound" in "System Preferences".<br></li>
<li>Does VoodooPad have permission to access the microphone? You can check under "Microphone" in the "Privacy" tab under "Security & Privacy" in "System Preferences".</li>

<p>Thanks so much for getting back to me.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Yes to Microphone on my Macbook Pro.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>I've gone into the Microphone Privacy setting, and I can see that Voodoopad doesn't even have a checkbox in there, for me to enable. It was all working fine years ago on pervious VP versions. Do you know how I can get the checkbox back?</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you kindly :)</p></div>Sandiitag:support.primatelabs.com,2011-01-31:Comment/485623722020-12-02T04:33:02Z2020-12-02T04:33:03Z"Start Recording" button is greyed out. (v 5.3.0 for Mac)<div><p>Update:</p>
<p>Just to add to my previous comment, I've just figured out how to add the checkbox back in & all is working again, Thank you. I just had to leave my privacy settings unlocked in the background whilst using Voodpad, to trigger it to ask me for permission again. Thank you kindly John :)</p></div>Sandii
