Website accessing microphone despite settings

[BrianBaughn]

In my Monterey settings, Firefox does NOT have access to my "microphone" and yet when I load the following page I get the orange dot in my menubar.

iD44 - 20in / 24out Audio Interface - The best just got better

The iD44 combines enhanced audio performance, new pro features, and a sleek design, delivering console-quality sound.

What's going on?

You could try "Oversight":

Microphone permissions can be reset from Terminal with

tccutil reset Microphone

https://developer.apple.com/documen...ting_authorization_for_media_capture_on_macos

"Oversight" doesn't report the audio device becoming active but it reports that it "became inactive" when I close the tab with the website.

I repeat…Firefox does not have access to the mic.

I reset the permissions via bogdanw's command, also.

If anyone else running Monterey (I'm on 12.2.1) would like to access the website in Firefox and report what happens that'd be great.

does the orange dot show up on any other sites? does it show up on the audient site in safari?

Never seen it do that before but can't rule out it wouldn't.

No other browser I have does this.

No orange dot in 12.3.1 intel iMac, with Firefox. I did some interaction on the page, but it didn't trigger the mic. The link you provide sends me to my country page (/es/), though.

interesting that it shows on an audio interface site. don't visit that site anymore? not sure what's up, but seriously, if that's the only site this happens on, visit it on safari or chrome? just a suggestion

go

Perhaps RELATED:
I did a FaceTime with a relative, couple days ago (in 12.3 still) and orange dot kept ON even after quitting FaceTime. I couldn’t figure how to switch it off, so I restarted mac and things came to normal.
(Monterey works well, but I find minute and intermittent strange behaviors, like this, that happen just once).
