Microphone with the lid closed

A closed MacBook lid disconnects the built-in mic in hardware, so dictation in clamshell mode used to produce nothing, with no explanation.

  • With the lid closed, HoldSpeak now records from a wired mic (3.5 mm headset, USB, or a monitor or dock mic) when your selection points at the built-in one. Open the lid and it goes back to your selected mic.
  • Bluetooth and iPhone mics are never picked automatically, so your music won't drop to headset quality. If you choose one in Preferences → Audio, it's used as usual.
  • With no wired mic connected, the HUD says so: "Lid closed · built-in mic is off. Connect a wired mic".
  • A recording of pure digital silence now shows "Microphone gave no signal" instead of vanishing.
