Having Mic issues with Chrome and Firefox

I'm starting a new thread as my last one with all the issues that all of a sudden happens has gone on a tangent.

I figured out what the main issue was, now I have only one problem I can fix.

For years 10 if not 15 years I have anyways used Dragon naturally Speaking to use with my mic to dictate almost everything I would normally have to type. For example I would be using it now if for some reason Google Chrome and Firefox would let me. They have always worked fine but in the last week I noticed that when I try to use dragon and my mic Yeti for some reason when I dictate nothing is typed in as it always has before.

It isn't a issue with Dragon, it works on everything else, outlook emails, text documents etc. the only thing that it won't work is like I said above is Chrome and Firefox

To save all of you the time I will tell you everything I have already done to try to fix it.

1. Checked permission in Chrome and Win 11 both say mic is used by each.
2. added Dragon web extension
3 watched every you tube video about mic not working
4 finally uninstalled Chrome even though I knew it wouldn't help and reinstalled fresh.

The weird thing is when I do a Google search if I click on the mic in the search space and talk it hears me and types what I say. so the mic works
Dragon and the mic works fine on everything except Chrome and Firefox

If anyone can think of a reason I am having this problem I would appreciate the help but please read what I've done so you don't suggest the same thing, the things I listed above I have check 10 times and they are set right.
