Microphone not working in Duolingo

When I try to repeat a phrase (speak) in Duolingo, I get the message "Microphone Not Authorized". I have gone into Privacy and Security in App Permissions and the microphone access is turned on. Then in the Microphone setting, "Let Apps Access your Microphone" is turned on. The next step in Help is In the Microphone Settings go to "Choose Which Apps Can Access Your Microphone". and turn on apps you want to use with the microphone. I can't find a listing of apps and I can't find Duolingo. I just started using a new HP computer with Windows 11 which replaced my old computer with Windopws 10. How do I give Duolingo access to my microphone?

    Hi, I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
    The Duolingo app on Windows runs from the Edge browser, make sure the Duolingo website has permissions to access the microphone on the Edge browser.

    Paste the address below on the address bar on Microsoft Edge to go directly to the Duolingo website permissions and set the Microphone permission to "Allow"

    edge://settings/privacy/sitePermissions/allSites/siteDetails?site=https://www.duolingo.com
