mic isn't recording audio

This is the code (I’ve taken it from the docs)

import soundcard as sc
import numpy

# get a list of all speakers:
speakers = sc.all_speakers()
# get the current default speaker on your system:
default_speaker = sc.default_speaker()
# get a list of all microphones:
mics = sc.all_microphones()
# get the current default microphone on your system:
default_mic = sc.default_microphone()

data = default_mic.record(samplerate=48000, numframes=48000)
default_speaker.play(data/numpy.max(data), samplerate=48000)

when I run the code the sound does not play. At first I thought this was a problem with the speaker object but then I tried playing a saved wav file separately using the speaker object and it worked but when I try to play the mic input there is no sound output, also there is this warning

/Users/faizrahim/PycharmProjects/voice-lag-simul/writejson.py:15: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in true_divide
  default_speaker.play(data/numpy.max(data), samplerate=48000)

The data variable when printed returns an array with nothing other than 0.0

Yes the real problem is the most common places where people run their scripts on macos is from vscode (that has a well documented bug since macos Mojave) and iterm that also doesn’t ask for permission.

I try to fix this at script level so that soundcard ask for it regardless of the top application in the meantime I add the workaround to the readme.

I’m ok with closing this
