your monitor.
m Any time you want to record sound, you need to make sure your sound
input source is set to “External Microphone.” Open the Monitors & Sound
control panel in the Apple (K) menu, click the Sound icon, and choose
“External Microphone” from the Sound Input pop-up menu.

monitor’s built-in microphone.
