Microphone Issue with Cef4Delphi and Duolingo 'Speaking' Practice

Post by nightbird »

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use the Cef4Delphi browser for some speaking practice on www.duolingo.com, but the microphone doesn't seem to work properly.
I've tested it using the SimpleBrowser2 demo app:
- The site loads and runs fine, except for the speaking exercises.
- When Duolingo requests microphone access, I get a permission popup, and I allow it.
- However, the exercise is immediately marked as failed—it's as if no audio input is received, and it doesn't wait for me to speak.
- The same scenario works perfectly in Chrome of course :)
- Recording a message in 'web.whatsapp.com' using the same SimpleBrowser2 app also works perfectly.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

P.S.
- Using the latest source code & binaries: 'Cef_135.0.22_Chromium_135.0.7049.115_Official'
- Same problem occurs when using a custom build binaries (with proprietary Codecs)
- The 'Speaking' practice is only available with a paid subscription.
