Audio input

Choose which microphone Lungoor uses to record.

Overview

The Audio Input setting lets you control which microphone Lungoor Voice uses for recording. If you have multiple microphones connected - like a USB headset, external mic, or your built-in Mac microphone - you can choose which one you prefer.

Preferred Microphone

Choose which mic Lungoor records from by default.

By default, Lungoor uses System default microphone - whatever microphone is set as your Mac's default in System Settings.

If you want to use a different microphone - like an external USB headset or a professional recording mic - just click the dropdown and select it from the list.

Available Options

The dropdown shows all microphones currently connected to your Mac:

System default microphone - macOS's currently selected default
MacBook Pro Microphone (Built-in) - your Mac's built-in microphone
Any external microphones - USB headsets, external mics, or other audio devices you have plugged in

Changing Your Microphone

To switch to a different microphone:

1. Click the Preferred microphone dropdown

It currently shows whichever mic you're using.

2. Select a different microphone from the list

Your choice is saved immediately.

3. Start recording

Lungoor will now use the microphone you selected for all new recordings.

Tips

Use System default microphone if you want Lungoor to follow whatever you set as your Mac's default in System Settings
If you have a USB headset, selecting it here ensures Lungoor always records from that headset and not your built-in mic
If you switch microphones often, just come back to this setting and pick whichever mic you're currently using
External microphones usually give better audio quality than built-in mics - if you have one, it's worth selecting it for Pro Mode transcriptions
Your microphone selection persists - Lungoor will keep using the mic you chose until you change it again
