Why is my browser denied microphone access?
This can happen due to various causes, including specific permissions not given on the browser or your headset not being correctly plugged in or not recognized by your machine. When you first plug said microphone in and tried to use it with the browser, you will be prompted to give some permission. Failing to do so could result in the situation mentioned above. Quick tip: Since this is a browser issue, you might be able to fix the problem by switching to a different web browser, such as Opera GX. Opera GX is light on your resources and should handle any multimedia easily. The browser also has a built-in adblocker that will speed up webpage loading. Additionally, you get fewer to zero errors when playing games compared to other browsers that don’t have the same gaming features.
