Voice not working in chats anymore

[uri111 (uri c)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Voice mode is not working properly. When using voice mode, the audio waves are visible and appear to be moving (indicating the microphone is picking up audio) but text does not appear at all. Yesterday it was working fine for me.
The mic input works well on other apps such as Voice Memo and Google Meet.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a chat panel in Cursor IDE
2. Click the Voice Mode microphone button to start voice input
3. Speak into the microphone - audio waves are visible and moving
4. Press the Stop button to end voice input
   Observe: no text is transcribed or outputted into the chat/editor

Expected Behavior

text should be written into the chat window while i speak

Operating System

MacOS

Here is the link to my post, although it might be redundant.

The Cursor microphone is no longer working in the IDE

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 referen…

Hey, thanks for the report. This is the same bug discussed here: Voice input button starts audio context but receives silent stream — level meter dead, no transcription (macOS, fresh install). It’s a regression in 3.2.21. The detail that voice works in the Agents Window but not in the IDE is a helpful clue, I’ll pass it to the team. I’ll move your post to the main thread so all fix updates stay in one place.
