About voice assistant

Just guessing here without any error messages, but some of the browsers will not let you activate the microphone unless its running https. Microsoft edge will ask if you want to and chrome will just ignore it unless you activate some developer options. I would check to make sure the mic is activating, past that some error messages would help greatly. Open the developer tools so that you can see any error messages on that console, or anything that is being written to the terminals.
