Tools: Fix: Microphone Permissions Not Showing Up on Hackintosh (macOS Tahoe/Sonoma)

1. The "Nuclear" Reset ## 2. Manual Injection (The tccplus Way) ## 3. The "Terminal Proxy" Workaround ## 💡 Pro Tip for Hackintoshers If you're on a Hackintosh and apps like Brave or OBS won't ask for microphone permissions—leaving your "Privacy & Security" list empty—the system's TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) database is likely stuck. Here is the quick fix to manually inject those permissions. Before trying tools, try resetting the microphone database to force macOS to "re-discover" apps. If the reset fails, you can manually force apps into the permission list using tccplus. OBS: osascript -e 'id of app "OBS"' (usually com.obsproject.obs-studio) If you need a fix right now and the database won't update, launch the app via Terminal. macOS will often grant the permission to Terminal instead, which "leaks" the access to the app. Click *"Allow"** when the prompt asks if Terminal can access the microphone.* If these commands fail, check your SIP (System Integrity Protection) status. If SIP is fully locked down, the system might block these manual database edits. You may need to partially disable it via OpenCore (0x803) to make these changes stick.
