Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I’m in the Cursor IDE, I try pressing the microphone button and the UI correctly enters listening mode. However, no matter how long I speak, nothing is written in the text field when I press stop.

However, when I’m in the Agents window, the microphone button works correctly; it listens to me and transcribes exactly what I say.

Therefore, the issue only occurs within the IDE. I will attach two screenshots for reference.

Steps to Reproduce

This bug has a 100% reproduction rate, regardless of which version of Cursor I install. My microphone no longer works within the IDE.

Expected Behavior

I would like the microphone to work within the IDE and function exactly the same way in Agent Window mode.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, this is the same bug discussed in this thread: Voice input button starts audio context but receives silent stream — level meter dead, no transcription (macOS, fresh install). It’s a voice regression in 3.2.21 on multiple platforms. I’ve reported it to the team, no ETA yet. I’ll merge it into the main thread so updates land in one place.
