Mic not working on voice chat with Macbook Pro and Os Mojave

Frankparabolan·10/11/2018, 10:31:46 PM·149 votes·164,873 views

Since I installed the new OSX Mojave on my mac the mic on LoL is not working. Checking in the System Preferences the Mic works fine but in the client and in game (even with the mic test) the app shows it has no input at all.

This can be fixed by Riot in a coffee break. The entitlements are wrong and there's something missing in the info.plist file of the app. I managed to get it working but you need a MacOS developer account to get the developer certificates needed to sign the app.

Here's the plist (/Applications⁩/League of Legends⁩/⁨Contents⁩/Info.plist) https://zeno.in/2BJbUs5

And the entitlements file (Applications⁩/League of Legends⁩.entitlements)⁩: https://zeno.in/2KLgvNA

The command to re-sign the packages (you need a valid Developer Certificate) codesign -f --deep -s 'Developer ID Application: XXXXXXXXXX (XXXXXXXX)' --entitlements "League of Legends.entitlements" "/Applications/League of Legends.app"

It's outrageous that such a simple fix, takes so long.

It seems that lol doesn't request access to microphone so it hasn't got auth to use it on Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Microphone

As a temporary workaround (that does not require a developer certificate), you could run the client from the terminal utility:

  1. open "Terminal"
  2. at the command prompt, run "cd '/Applications/League of Legends.app/Contents/LoL/'"
  3. run "./LeagueClient.app/Contents/MacOS/LeagueClient"
  4. login into your LoL account
  5. go to "Settings -> VOICE" and click on the mic symbol; this should cause a popup “Terminal.app” would like to access the microphone.
  6. choose "OK"

Voice should now work, but I strongly suggest to test it in a coop game or similar, to make sure that everything is ok. Steps 5 and 6 should only be needed the first time (unless you reset your settings). Steps 1 to 4 will be needed whenever you want to start LoL. If the client updates, I would suggest you to close it and run through steps 1-5.

Absolutely the same problem. Just downloaded Mojave and can't access the mic since it isn't requesting permission to access the microphone.

Thought it was just mine until I finally checked here. Been a huge inconvenience forever. I thought if it was my laptop riot would have fixed it by now. Why is this taking so long?? 7 months for a bug fix that should take a couple of hours max

I just finished making my own folder and for those wondering what it should look like i get 5 lines

"#! /bin/bash
cd ~/Desktop mkdir LOLWorkingMicFile.command cd '/Applications/League of Legends.app/Contents/LoL/' ./LeagueClient.app/Contents/MacOS/LeagueClient"

(don't forget not to copy the " " " at the beginning and at the end, it's the only way to get the hashtag in) (LOLWorkingMicFile.command is the name of the file that contains these 5 lines and it is located on my desktop) (I suck at all this btw xD)

There is a way to make Voice work on Mac. I have macOS Catalina and it works. It's a very inefficient way but worth the try. You need to open Terminal and execute these 2 commands.

  1. " cd '/Applications/League of Legends.app/Contents/LoL/' " -> will change directory to the LoL file.
  2. " ./LeagueClient.app/Contents/MacOS/LeagueClient " - > will start the client from there. There is a "." in the beginning , don't forget it.

Doing this will make the client ask for microphone access and Voice will be enabled. You need to do this every time you need to start the client so it's definitely not the best solution but it works. Hope Riot actually fixes this.
