Edge can't use the mic in the Google Translate page
- My guess is that all these Tools use the WebSpeechApi which only works on Google Chrome/Chromium (at least the recognition part) because Google uses it's own cloud servers for the audio transcription. Since the new Edge is basically Chromium it probably thinks that the WebSpeechApi is supported and breaks. The API behaves very strange currently in Edge.
Deleted I checked my driver and it is not signed by Logitech but by Microsoft. It uses the Generic USB Audio Device. The driver provider is Microsoft and the driver date is 2019-05-08. My Surface Pro 4 has the same problem using its own microphone.
Try the Skype online(if you have a Skype account): https://web.skype.com/
and use the Echo / Sound Test service call, and see if that works.
web.skype.com works fine. Try google.translate.com and see if your mic works.
Ok, after I remembered to allow the mic, I tested both in Chrome and Canary Edge.
It worked in Chrome, but not in Edge.
Sorry I couldn't help, but at least confirm the bug.
Maybe it has something to do with thedge://version/ the translator expected?
I don't know.
Deleted Confirming the bug is just as important at this point in the process. It gives Microsoft an idea of the extent of the problem.
