Confirmed that 3.7.1 fixed it, tho the first time when asking for permission it shows and error page. Click allow then re-enable the mic worked.

Actually, I will reopen this, from this description it might still be required to invoke this on macOS 10.14+. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/capture_setup/requesting_authorization_for_media_capture_on_macos?language=objc

I won’t however add any entitlements since the app is not signed (i.e. app will crash when requesting permissions when signed).
