Hi LARRYRICHWAY.


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with your mic in Google Chrome and Safari. It sounds like it shuts off when you are dictating.


Have you checked the privacy access? Control access to your microphone on Mac.


Have you checked how the mic functions elsewhere like dictating in a message or document? Dictate messages and documents on Mac.


Does it work inside a new user account? Here's how to make on: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.


Let us know how it goes.


Have a fantastic day!

did all that and it still will shut off when I move the space bar Or move it to a new block I tried setting up a new user and using it it does the same thing I checked the control access to the microphone and I also checked the Dictation messages and the Mac I am running big slur it's a brand new computer I hate to send it back but I think I may have to this is unheard of not working in Google Chrome It is very difficult to name the pictures in my business because you have to go block the block to name pictures and every time you go to a different block you have to come here hit the command key twice it's very irritating it did not do that in high Sierra
