Follow these steps to troubleshoot voice not working in Windows 11:

1. Check microphone selection
   1. Select Start > Settings > System.
   2. Select Sound > Input.
   3. Under Choose a device for speaking or recording, make sure the correct microphone is selected.
   4. If using an external mic, confirm it is firmly plugged in or properly connected via Bluetooth/USB.
2. Allow apps to use the microphone
   1. Select Start > Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone.
   2. Turn Microphone access On.
   3. Make sure Let apps access your microphone is also turned on, and that the specific app being used for voice is allowed.
3. If text does not appear when speaking (voice typing)
   1. Verify the microphone input level under Settings > System > Sound > Input and adjust levels if needed.
   2. If using a built‑in mic, try again with a headset or external microphone.
   3. If an error says voice typing is not available in the current language, install a supported language from the list in Use voice typing to talk instead of type on your PC.

If voice is still not working after these steps, run the microphone/audio troubleshooters from Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters and follow the on‑screen guidance.
