Level of input to zero did not help. Activity monitor screenshot I am enclosing. What should I switch off?
There is audioclocksyncd process, try to close it, please.
Does not help
Maybe there is any program that can use a Microphone that you did not use now, please?
I am not using any program with microphone activity. That is my concerns. It appeared by itself.
Please, try to pause Voice Control and stop it from listening, say “Go to sleep” or click Sleep.
