Thanks so much for the info! I’ll check and see what mines saying. (I’m not the best with tech but this has completely baffled me. I just wish I knew what I did to cause this so I can avoid it in future lol)

EDIT: After letting my desktop sit unplugged for 2 weeks thinking it might be something there: problem is still present.
OBS records my voice fine with my mic, so it still works and functions as it is supposed to- but PNGTuber+ isn't connecting still. At this point idk what to do other than buying another mic and hoping PNGTuber+ likes that one, or swapping to a different program for avatar&mic connection which really sucks.
So I've been using PNGTuber+ on my Mac and it's been a dandy lil program for the most part. Today while booting up to record, I opened PNGTuber+, spent about five min checking all my sprites/costumes worked and responded to my voice, then I put in my airpods (for output audio) and PNGTuber+ disconnected from my mic and I've been wholly unable to reconnect it. I've gone through this set up process at least 100 times in the past with all the same equipment and this is the first time this has happened. PNGTuber+ was connected to my mic during the test and all sprites/costumes responded until I popped in my airpods and then it just full stopped.
-It shows both in system settings/Input and on OBS that my mic (Seirin mini) is working, but PNGTuber+ just isn't picking it up. PNGTuber+ is responding and registering sound from my Mac's built in microphone. I'd bite the bullet and record with that if the audio quality didn't sound like forks in a garbage disposal.
-I know the airpods have their own mic, I'm assuming that's where this issue occurred- but in system settings I don't have an option to not use it. It's either automatically connect, left pod, or right pod. Google results say there's a mute option- there's not. (These are the first iteration so maybe that's why?) My mic has never disconnected from PNGTuber+ before unless I've selected another option for input audio. I've never had to re-select it or anything after putting in my airpods.
- I've checked and made sure all software and programs and items are up-to-date. I've tried unplugging and replugging the mic in. I've restarted the computer and PNGTuber+. I've deleted and reinstalled PNGTuber+. I've gone through computer files manually to 'give permissions' for the mic- or whatever the mac equivalent of that is. (Never had to do that previously). Nothin. I'm not sure what went wrong this time or why. Knowing my luck it's going to be the silliest thing causing this issue, but so far none of the typical fixes or google search rigamarole has worked. I didn't see anybody with this situation here or on the reddit thread that I could see, so figured I may as well ask.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks. Also sorry for the massive text block, trying to be as clear as I can to avoid running in circles. Can provide screenshots/ vids if needed.
