n my new MacOS Catalina there was a microphone problem with MxMC Here is the solution **MxMC Microphone under Catalina:** **The problem:** Intercom via microphone in MxMC does not work **Why:** MacOS Catalina requires the release of the microphone for each application. Normally, when starting the program a query is added and access can be granted under Apple \> System settings \> Security \> Privacy - Microphone Can be viewed and changed. **The solution** If the MxMC is not in the security settings, you have to execute the following procedure 1. opens the terminal (Terminal.app in programs) 2. MxMC must be closed at this time. 3. execute this command in the terminal: open /Applications/MxManagementCenter.app/Contents/MacOS/MxManagement 4. now MxMC is started and a PopUp appears if MxMC may access the Micro 5. press YES ---
