Hi slepoydog,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! From our understanding, when you attempt to allow a specific app access to your microphone, the settings is greyed out and you do not see the app on the list, is that right? Do you have any restriction set up? If you go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Restrictions > Microphone, is "Allow Changes" selected?


Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
