Q: Siri on macOS won't enable

Just after installing Sierra, when I was prompted to activate Siri, I got an error message saying there was a problem emabling Siri. I get the same error every time I try and enable siri, even from system preferences.

I've launched in Safe Mode and it let me enable Siri, but then it said there was no microphone detected. So I booted normally again and Siri was still enabled, it recognized my microphone, but whenever actually activating Siri, I get the black box where Siri should be, it even says "what can I help you with" and there is a logo of a microphone on the box, but I can't get Siri to actually activate. I have tried zapping the pRAM as well and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
