For the time being Micro Snitch considers the camera of these models as unsupported. We have already reported this bug to Apple and are hoping that Apple will fix this in a future macOS update. FaceTime Camera on M1 Macsĭue to a bug in macOS Big Sur the operating system falsely reports the built-in FaceTime camera of the latest Apple Silicon based MacBook Air and MacBook Pro always as active, even if the camera is not in use at all.
As a consequence, Micro Snitch may show a device as inactive even while it is used in certain professional audio/video software.

PCI Express cards to put in a Thunderbolt chassis or older Mac Pro), thereby circumventing Core Audio and Core Media IO. For that reason, Micro Snitch currently cannot support devices with both input and output channels.Īlso note that manufacturers of some professional audio/video devices allow developers of professional audio/video software to directly interface with the hardware (e.g. But if a device has input and output channels (like the Apple Thunderbolt Display) and sound is played back by that device, Core Audio reports the device as being active, but Micro Snitch can’t know if its input or the output is active. If a device only has input channels (as your Mac’s built-in microphone does) and it is active, Micro Snitch knows that some app is using the microphone. In the Speaker section, use the dropdown box to select the audio output device you want to use. Once in the settings, switch to the Audio tab.
