People Can't Hear Me When Krisp Is On

Workaround available Windows, macOS Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Usually the call app is not using Krisp Microphone, Krisp's mic source is wrong, or Krisp's audio stalls after a while. Re-select the devices; if it stops after 15-30 minutes, restart the meeting app.

Most likely fix: Re-select devices in Krisp and the call app.

Symptoms

You appear unmuted but nobody hears you; audio works at the start of a Meet or Zoom call and goes silent after 15-30 minutes.

Why it happens

  • Krisp is using the wrong physical microphone as its source
  • Call app is set to a different mic
  • Krisp audio stream stalls during long calls
  • Microphone permission denied

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Re-select devices in Krisp and the call app

    1. Krisp panel: set Microphone to your real headset/mic
    2. Call app audio settings: set Microphone to Krisp Microphone
    3. Run the call app's mic test

  2. 2. Restart the meeting app mid-call

    1. If audio dies after 15-30 minutes, leave and rejoin, or fully restart Zoom/Meet - users report this restores audio
    2. Update Krisp to the latest version to pick up fixes

  3. 3. Check OS mic permissions

    1. Windows: Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone
    2. Mac: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone
    3. Enable Krisp and the call app

  4. 4. Bypass Krisp to isolate the problem

    1. Select your physical mic directly in the call app
    2. If it works, the issue is Krisp - reinstall it or contact support@krisp.ai
