what can be done here?
FYI, after you attach a graphic, try to use the "place inline" button so it's more neatly embedded in the post if you can.

My interface shows all the faders zeroed out, because Core Audio does not have control over those levels-- which are handled by the device and it's mixer/config panel.

But that doesn't mean that the input is not receiving signal-- just means CoreAudio can't control it.

Just disregard this.

I use software from Rogue Amoeba called Loopback ($100 USD) which lets me create virtual input and output devices with combinations of various signal routings-- and those have volume controls.

OK then my issue can't be solved...?

I just tried Dictation with an M4 and 2023 MB Air on Sonoma without issue. Do you have Dictation configured properly in Keyboard Settings? It only works with a microphone connected to In 1, but that's probably because it's expecting a mono source and just defaults to the first available stream for a device. Something like that . . . Siri appears to work with either In 1 or 2.

Nah. I'm pretty confident it CAN be solved. I was just barking up the wrong tree and adding noise.

Thank your for your kind reply
You're magician!
I've finally found out that it'll work just with input #1... :D
(It won't work with input#2)

Glad to see this resolved. I’ve sold my M2 and was arranging to borrow back my M4 today to test this. It hadn’t occurred to me that I use Channel 1 of my AIR 192|14 for System audio.

We learn new things all the time (looking for that face palm emoji).
