Help needed setting up a USB microphone on a Mac

Hi there!
I have a Mac and am having trouble setting up a USB microphone with Audacity. It has worked before. Now, once I go to 'Sound' and 'Input' and choose 'C-media USB Audio Device' the Input Level lights don't show up when I talk into the mic-and the mic is not working when I try recording on Audacity.
I'm stuck, don't know what to do here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks~
 
Hi! Have you selected the usb mic under Audacity settings (Edit->Preferences->Devices)?
 
I don't know how to do that but I am figuring it out.
Also, I wanted to clarify that when I go to Mac preferences>hardware>sound>input>USB mic, the Input Level is not lighting up. ( I think the problem lies there.. but maybe not. Thought I may not have described that clearly.)
 
The mic is working if your mac is recognizing it, without a screenshot it is difficult to tell if you have something muted, or if another setting is not correct. Post a screenshot!
