Fusion 12 and USB Mic (Powermic II) not working

[DrCory]

I have used my Nuance Powermic II fine with macOS and under parallels.

However with fusion, it shows as connected under virtual machine->usb and bluetooth->

and it shows up under device manager

however under settings->sound-> it is selected as the input source but not receiving any input. when I change to internal mic it works fine.

So, basically seems to be installed correctly and selected as input just doesn't want to actually be a microphone....???

any ideas?

Hi DrCory,

I'm unable to reproduce your problem in house, I connected an exact the same microphone PowerMic II to Windows 10 VM and it just worked fine, I can record and replay the sound via this device.

Could you please confirm if the VMware Fusion has been added into System Preferences=>Security&Privacy=>Privacy=>Microphone? Or, the device has been occasionally muted?

Thanks,

-Rick
