The microphone isn't working

If RadMyk can't hear you or says the mic is unavailable, check the permission, make sure no other app is using the mic, and confirm the right device is selected.

Symptom: You press your shortcut but nothing records, or RadMyk says the microphone is unavailable.

Work through these

  1. Permission. Make sure RadMyk is allowed to use the mic:
    • macOS: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone → RadMyk on.
    • Windows: Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone → RadMyk on. If you just granted it, restart RadMyk.
  2. Another app has the mic. A browser call, a meeting app, or Voice Memos can hold the microphone. Close it and try again.
  3. Right device selected. In Settings → Microphone, confirm the device you’re actually speaking into is chosen - not a disconnected headset.
  4. Muted or unplugged. Check your system volume controls and that any external mic is plugged in and not muted.
  5. Test it. Use Mic test in Settings and speak. Aim for the green zone - see Microphone and audio settings.

Still nothing after that? Email g3pd.rad@gmail.com with your platform and mic model and we’ll help.
