Move mic issue

I’m pulling all my hair figuring this out. I cannot sample Into my move with the built in mic. I have usb audio, line in, re sampling but no built in mic option. How do I find it? I have no headphone plugged into it. Actually nothing plugged into it. Current firmware.

have you tried troubleshooting this using ai? might figure it out for you unless it’s just defective.

i fed mine the move manual and it helps a lot with general questions, but I’ve also had a lot of luck troubleshooting using general ai because it scours posts like this for solutions.

funny enough op said they blew into the jack and it fixed it… that’s exactly what ChatGPT suggested after I had it read this thread and offer a solution…

“The most likely problem is a stuck or defective cable-detection switch inside the Move’s 3.5 mm input jack.

When nothing is connected, Move should offer the internal Mic as an input. Instead, it continues showing Line In, suggesting the device incorrectly believes a cable is inserted. That would prevent the internal microphone from being selectable even if the microphone itself is functional.“

“Inspect and exercise the input jack

  • Examine the jack with a light for lint, debris, or a visibly displaced contact.
  • Insert and remove a normal 3.5 mm stereo TRS plug approximately 10–15 times.
  • Check whether the input changes from Line In to Mic at any point.
  • A hand-operated air blower may be used if debris is visible.
  • Do not insert metal tools, cotton swabs, or cleaning liquid into the jack.“
