During a roleplay, you may occasionally find that the AI keeps asking if you’re still present, even though you are. This usually means your microphone input isn’t reaching the platform correctly. Don’t worry - it’s not a system failure, and there are a few quick things you can check to fix it.

​
Common Causes and Fixes

​
1. Microphone Connected to the Wrong Device

Sometimes your computer defaults to a microphone that isn’t in use (e.g., AirPods in your pocket).
The Fix: Check your audio settings and make sure the active microphone is the one you’re actually speaking into

​
2. Browser Blocking or Disabling the Microphone

Even after granting permission, browsers can sometimes block microphone input.
The Fix: In your browser, re-check microphone permissions for the Exec app. Make sure the correct mic is selected in the drop-down.

​
3. Microphone Input Volume Set to Zero

Your mic may be connected but effectively muted at the system level.
The Fix: Open your computer’s audio settings and ensure the microphone input volume is set above zero.
Quick ChecklistIf the AI keeps asking if you’re still there:
  • Confirm your mic is plugged in (or your headset is active).
  • Check browser permissions to ensure Exec has access to your mic.
  • Verify input volume isn’t muted at the system level.

Best Practices for Smooth Roleplays

  • Use a reliable headset. Headphones with a built-in mic often reduce glitches.
  • Test before practice. Quickly check your mic in your system settings before starting a session.
  • Minimize device switching. Avoid swapping between AirPods, speakers, and built-in mics during a session.
✅ In short: If the AI keeps asking if you’re still there, it usually means your microphone input isn’t getting through. Double-check your mic device, browser permissions, and input volume to resolve the issue quickly.
