Microphone not working within browsers? #395

Closed drmoshe closed 6 years ago

drmoshe commented 6 years ago

Microphone not working within browsers? Microphone does work within Windows itself and Skype. This may or may not be related to the changes made by the program. Typically, there should be a browser popup warning to allow microphone use.

I have disabled popup blockers within he browsers (Edge and Chrome) and internet options of windows. I have not disabled microphone functionality within window, nor within the browsers. No help. Even the microphone within the Google search bar does not appear?

If not related to DiasableWinTracking, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Related to a windows update. Click your Windows 10 Start menu > Settings > Privacy App Permissions - Microphone > Hit "Change" button, make sure it's turned on > Below change button is another slider, make sure it is also turned on. Has nothing to do with DWT.

Privacy App Permissions - Microphone - WAS "on". However, just to make sure, I did now turned if "off", and then "on" again, and restarted the computer. It had no effect. I did note something new however. The microphone within the Google search bar appeared for a moment, and then disappeared. Still no browser popup warning to allow microphone use at this site. (So, I manually allowed it for the site - no effect.) I did find another site which specifically tests microphone functionality via browsers. There was a browser popup warning to allow microphone use, and when allowed it did work. Strange? Suggestions?
