I am the original and principal developer of fldigi.? I run the program on several different Apple h/w and OS versions.? The issue described below is only associated with the latest h/w and OS releases, including Sonoma 14.6.1 on all both Intel and Apple silicon.? I too count exactly 43 clicks to get past the microphone gate keeper.? I do not know what process in fldigi's start up code is causing the problem.? I can tell you how to avoid the gatekeeper.

• open a terminal window and execute the following set of commands:
• $ cd /Applications/fldigi 4.2.06 (for latest version)
• $ cd Contents
• $ cd MacOS
• $ cp fldigi ~
• $ cd
• $ ls (you should see the contents of your home folder with the fldigi binary present)
• run this copy of fldigi in one of two ways
• from the terminal window
• $ cd
• $ ./fldigi
• or from the finder
• open finder to the home directory and double click on the fldigi binary icon
• Either way, fldigi will open as a terminal application.? Be sure that you have granted microphone access to the the terminal.? You do this in the System Settings for "Privacy and Security"/Microphone.
• you may minimize the terminal window, but do not close it or fldigi will also close.

No, sadly nothing new on this issue in this version.

I’m running??4.2.05.24 on a M2 MacBook Air (Sequoia 15.0.1) and confirm the "FLDigi would like to access the microphone” issue IS still present in this version.

It still takes *exactly* 43 (forty-three) clicks of the “Allow” button before the “microphone” (IC7300 in my case) is allowed access.

I wonder why it *always* works after the 43rd “Allow”??

Could that number be helpful in find the the cause of this issue?

Anything new on the "FLDigi would like to access the microphone" problem?
