ChatGPT Voice Activation Problem.
I have a Windows 10 laptop and normally use the Chrome browser. When I open a new chat with ChatGPT, the voice activation option is available and works well. However, as soon as I type anything into the chat, the voice activation option disappears until I start a new chat.
I have tried the following:
• Clear your browser’s cache and cookies: This can sometimes resolve strange issues.
I have tried all three recommended guidelines without success.
• Check your microphone permissions: Make sure your browser has permission to access your microphone.
• Try using a different browser: See if the issue occurs there as well.

• I have gone to Privacy and security and then Site Settings, scrolled down to Permissions and checked its Microphone compliance.
I have visited ChatGPT’s support page and searched for solutions, without success.
Any solutions or even further recommended guidelines would be much appreciated.

haven’t tested much but I wonder if that happens also on the Windows program:
