Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with voice input on Linux in 2.x versions.

Workaround: open Cursor Settings → Network and make sure HTTP/2 is enabled (not HTTP/1.1). This helped another Linux user on v2.0.64: Voice input do not work

If that doesn’t help, please share console logs:

  • Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console tab
  • Press the microphone button, speak, then stop recording
  • Screenshot any errors that appear

Let me know if enabling HTTP/2 helps!

yes, http/2 works with voice input
