I’ve got a problem:
Since I am using my new Elgato Thunderbolt 3 Pro dock, the macOS dictation won’t work anymore. It seems like macOS won’t use the internal microphone for dictation. I changed the audio input to the internal microphone (and that one is working!). I can use Siri and record audio, but I cannot use dictation.
I am running macOS 11.1.
Any ideas?

I’ve found a solution:
Go to System preferences → Accessibility → Voice Control.
There you can choose the desired audio input. Setting it for voice control sets it for dictation as well.
You do not have to turn on voice control.
