Research direction
The payload names no source files, so start by finding where the 'Microphone unavailable' popup is raised and where the hotkey-triggered audio capture begins on Windows. Reproducing it needs a Windows 11 machine with an unsigned build, since the title points to antivirus blocking. Done means either recording works on that setup or the error reports the actual cause, such as a blocked microphone permission.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
What happened?
'Microphone unavailable' popup appears instead of recording.
Steps to reproduce
On Lenovo laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 8845H w/ Radeon 780M Graphics
- Open SpeakType
- Hold the hotkey in a text field
- See 'Microphone unavailable' popup
I've tried changing input devices both in App and in Windows.
Also, 'Microphone in use by...` doesn't appear in tray icons. Example:
'Microphone test' in Windows settings works fine, other apps (tested in Mattermost) also work fine.
Which system?
Windows
System version
Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.9445)
SpeakType version
2.0.0 (1st stable release)
Which model were you using?
Parakeet V3, Whisper Base
Anything else?
If I can somehow help (provide more data for diagnostics, test a pre-release, or something else) - I'll gladly help.
