Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

On Linux there’s a known fix, try enabling HTTP/2:

  • Open Cursor Settings with Ctrl + ,
  • Go to the Network section
  • Make sure HTTP/2 is enabled, not HTTP/1.1
  • Restart Cursor

This fixed it for other Linux users: Voice Input Not Working on Linux

Also check:

  • Does the mic work in other apps (browser, Discord)?
  • Is Cursor using the correct mic in your system sound settings? Cursor uses the default input device

If HTTP/2 doesn’t help, please share the full Console log (Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console tab) after you click the mic and try to record.

HTTP 2 is on, mic is correct, console tab screenshot is already shared

Can I get some relevant advice on this? I did everything you suggested before posting the original mesage and it looks like you didn’t even read it.

Sorry for the delay.

[transport] ConnectError: Cancellation token requested for stream 2b7bfa40-9835-46f5-a71c-7581ecff8fd9

This is a connection error when trying to start a stream to the transcription server. Audio is being captured, but it isn’t reaching the server.

Try this:

  • Cursor Settings (not the regular settings, specifically Cursor Settings) > Network > Run Diagnostics. Send the results here.
  • On the same tab, try turning it off. Restart Cursor and try voice again.

Also, are you behind a VPN, a proxy, or some kind of corporate network?
