Voice Over Recording in Premiere Pro CC 2019 doesn't work

Does anyone else have this problem? I want to record a voice-over and it doesn't work. I checked the internal audio settings of my new MacBook Pro as well as the internal software settings of CC 2019. Both show the VO Mic. And while I see the sound get into the laptop I don't get any audio levels in Premiere. When I tried this with the older version CC 2018 it worked as it always has. Does anyone have a fix? Do I need to install a new plugin? That would be strange, because in the VO record settings it shows that it recognises the mic...

Thanks for your help!

Just a quick check - if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy,  Click on Microphone in the left sidebar and verify Premiere Pro 2019 has access ( is checked).

I have the same issue but in Windows 11. Everything is updated, all permissions granted (when I right-click on the microphone on the soundtrack, the window shows my microphone and when I talk into it, it shows it working- Sometimes, like once every 10 times, it works.)

Hey I know this is marked as solved but I figured out something I haven't found anyone online saying. So, I followed every advice and still no shot.... So I figured out the problem. If I create the project in an ssd it does not create the audio file after I press "stop".. So I created a project in the main sdd computer and it worked fine!  Maybe there is a way to circunvent this but I haven't found any. If you know of any please say so 🙂 

Hope this helps any lost souls like me 🙂

Live saver. Thanks. We had checked everything BUT mic permissions in preferences. That fixed it.
