Brave Versjon 1.33.106 Chromium: 96.0.4664.110 (Offisiell delversjon) (64-bit):
Sometimes I can't record audio, so when I try to publish the recording, I get an error saying the file size is too small
audio recordings are ruined by static noise.
But playing recordings works well, no annoying sound at the end.
Audio volume is too low because the audio volume is turned down for the browser so to have to bring it up in volume control in windows.

Vivaldi 5.0.2497.32 (Stable channel) (64-biters)
audio recordings are ruined by static noise.
But playing recordings works well, no annoying sound at the end.

I forgot to add that even if I turn up the volume for Brave in the windows audio control. I the volume is still too low on the recording I made in Brave, but the volume on the recordings recorded in Firefox is the same in all browsers. but but recording in Brave is a bit lower, but in horrible quality. I've listened and recorded in both browsers to test this.

Just tested Chome Version 96.0.4664.110 64Bit now I can record audio, but windows volume thing, had the volume turned down for some reason, seems to be a bug in windows, but I turned it up but when I click play after recording before I publish the volume is silly low. but not once it's published, only when I listen to to after recording, this was the case in the other chromium browsers too. So not being able to record in Chrome is fixed now. seems like it was a bug in Chrome. Audio recordings are in high quality now too, no weird sounding voice.

It got updated to Chrome Version 97.0.4692.71 (Offisiell delversjon) (64-bit), the audio is bad again, white noise, but my voice does not sounds like I am whispering awkward, but there is a spark at the end.
