AetherSDR has completely **** my audio from SmartSDR for Mac.

Foolishly, I installed AetherSDR to give the tyres a kick. Big mistake. When I later launched SmartSDR for Mac, I had no Mic audio from the Mac to the radio.

Looking at the input choices I had several AetherSDR DAX sources.

After some research, I found suggestions on how to remove the DAX sources and AetherSDR itself. Also a suggestion to reset the Radio ID in SmartSDR for Mac. NO dice. The sources have gone, but I still have no mic.

I'm about to reinstall SmartSDR for Mac, but I wanted to warn others to be very careful with AetherSDR.

Trying something new isn't foolish, I think. I have both ASDR, SmartSDR for Mac, and a few others on both my M1 Mac and Intel Mac. No problems. ASDR I would imagine changed something, which is not necessarily bad.

Apple does not include any uninstaller … which is not good. I use AppCleaner when removing apps, it does a good job of finding related files, just an FYI. Much better than simply moving an app to the trash.

If you click on the speaker icon at the top right to open the sound settings, and look at input you can see what inputs are available and what is selected. I think Marcus' program simply uses whichever one is selected, as opposed to having a selection from within the program. You can also see a level slider (put it to max) and a graph.

If you have the right input selected, and get motion on the input level, SmartSDR should be working with that input. Does your desired mic show up and is working in the sound settings pane of OSX?
