But I do have an Internet connection. And when I try the same thing with the Chrome browser the microphone works. Why is it not working on Brave and how can I fix it? Or is this due to some sort of security setting unique to Brave? And if so can that setting be toggled off? Thanks you for your help.

## Description

## Actual result:
"No internet connection" is displayed.
## Expected result:
Successful voice search
## Reproduces how often:
Always
## Brave version (brave://version info)
v0.58.16
### Reproducible on current release:
- Does it reproduce on brave-browser dev/beta builds?
Yes, both.
### Website problems only:
- Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? Negative
- Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? Nope!
### Additional Information
Behaves the same on macOS, Windows and Linux systems.

Thanks. So this issue has ben around for almost three years and still no fix?
That’s unfortunately true. I can’t tell anything more but link a post by @steeven who has explained quite a few things about the issue.
Hi @Keifus - thanks for reporting. This is a known issue and something that the team has investigated here - https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/3725 .
Here’s the most relevant comment from the issue:
"Hi folks, sorry for the lack of update here. It’s a bit of a gnarly issue, and it gets me hopping mad.
