Microphone issue - Enable microphone access in Settings

I ran into this problem, after downloading the ChatGPT desktop app. I granted access to my (built-in) microphone, yet it keeps showing me the: “Enable microphone access in Settings” message. I granted access to my microphone, reinstalled the app, restarted my pc, logged in-logged out, no updates available (for the app, nor windows - 11), my mic is functionable (works on every other app), yet can’t use this function on the desktop app. Anybody else has any ideas, suggestions for me please?

I have this same problem and still struggling to fix it. Anybody have a solution?

Stuck with “Enable microphone access in Settings”

I have the same issue. Microphone is already enabled in the browser settings. Yet the above error message persists. Worked on Android phone last time I checked but not on Linux Debian with Brave Browser. OpenAI please reply.

I was able to get working on Chrome by enabling it for the site in the chrome settings (I must have previously blocked it)

From Chrome instructions:

  • Change a site’s camera and microphone access
    On your computer, open Chrome.
  • At the top right, select More More and then Settings.
  • Select Privacy and security and then Site settings.
  • Under ‘Permissions’, select Camera or Microphone.
