Tools/Settings/Default Permissions/Microphone/Allow

In trying to save the "allow" microphone the selection will not "stick". Always reverts back to "block". Tried selecting allow then closing browser but always reverts back to "block". Any ideas on how to allow /microphone. TIA

5.1.2567.73

@douglas9 Try a recent version. 5.1 is very old.
But i can confirm that microfon lost setting made in Settings → Privacy.

Ah, in Vivaldi 5.2 works in internal Chromium settings page at chrome://settings/content/microphone/
Now it stays as Blocked.

I will report the bug to tracker now.
//edit: Done.
Reported as
VB-88561 "Settings for microphone does no stay"

I cannot set mic access to "allow" in Vivaldi 5.2.2623.48 (32-bit). The setting keeps reverting to "ask." Moreover, when I try to use Google Voice to dial out, Google Voice responds with

Allow mic access
Click Allow to use your microphone here

However, there's nothing to click.

Sending Vivaldi to

chrome://settings/content/microphone

opens the page at

vivaldi://settings/content/microphone

where the default behavior offers only two choices:

Default behavior

  (o) Sites can ask to use your microphone
  ( ) Don't allow sites to use your microphone

How to use use Vivaldi to dial out on Google Voice?

Pesala

@enyap Google Voice is a service that Vivaldi would have to pay for, so it is not available.

Not sure about Google Voice as it's blocked here (US only) and like Pesala said if it uses the Google Voice API it won't be supported because Vivaldi would need to license use of the API costing $$$...

However I have no problems using Vivaldi for Google Meet and Whereby. And the setting sticks.

Opening chrome://settings/content/microphone gets redirected to a vivaldi:// URL but that's expected. Default behaviour is Ask.

I guess you could try adding a site under "Allowed to use your microphone". Another method is to click the Site Info button, Site Settings, and set it explicitly there.

Does it work here?

Thank you for responding so quickly. Alas, No joy.

... like Pesala said if it uses the Google Voice API

I suspect a Google API is not involved. Google says (https://tinyl.io/6MMF)

Google Voice is compatible with the current release
and 1 previous major release of these browsers:

  Chrome Browser 
  Microsoft Edge 
  Mozilla 
  Firefox (Windows and Mac)
  Safari

I guess you could try adding a site under "Allowed to
use your microphone". Another method is to click the
Site Info button, Site Settings, and set it explicitly
there.

Thank you for that pointer. I did so. I can now complete calls to my cell phone with about being asked to allow microphone access, but there is no audio passing in either direction. It's as if both mics are muted. They are not.

I do not have this problem on Firefox.

Does [the microphone] work here? https://webcammictest.com/check-mic.html

Yes, and it works in Zoom as well.
