Description of problem: I could use voice search in the previous version of Chromium, 52. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 53 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the google home page with chromium 2. Click on the voice search microphone button. Actual results: The button does not respond. Expected results: The button should respond normally and a voice search should be possible, if no proprietary software dependencies are required.
I cannot reproduce this failure on Fedora 24 x86_64 with chromium-53.0.2785.101-1.fc24.x86_64. I click on the voice search microphone icon, a popup asks for permission to access my microphone, I approve that request, then it says "listening", and I speak and it shows up in the search.
Tom, the bug was caused when I updated from 52 to 53. I could not access the microphone and no pop up message to allow camera and microphone came when hitting the microphone button in google's page from a new tab. If however I inserted a google page link, then I had the option to allow access to camera and microphone becaues chromium considered it as a site. Right now it works for me too, with a fresh install of the latest Chromium build for Fedora, so I will close the bug for now. Will let you know if new updates of Chromium cause any errors again. Thanks.
