microphone broken macbook air

My internal microphone is not working. It doesn't pick up any sound on the blue bars, my input volume is on max and I have already reset the PRAM to try and fix it. It just completely doesn't work or register anything. Help? I really need my mic for zoom university classes.

Hi,

Try to run Apple Diagnostics if it reports sound hardware related issues(VFF001, VFF002, and VFF003)

Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support

If it's a hardware issue, try to get USB microphone which is compatible with macOS and the applications you need to use.
