so, what can i do other than what i did?

Try plugging your keyboard into your computer? It's worked for me once or twice. Easy enough to try, anyway.

1. Go to System Prefs/Settings.
2. Go to Accessibility.
3. Navigate to "Siri".
4. Uncheck 'Enable Type To Siri'.
5. Win.

HTH. 😎

Go to settings > Security & Privacy.
1. VO click on the Privacy tab.
2. Navigate over to the Privacy categories table.
3. Arrow down to Microphone.

If you see a message like, 'Apps that have requested access to your microphone will appear here', then you might need to test to ensure your Mic is working.

My advice would be to enable dictation (Settings > Keyboard > Dictation.

If Dictation works, then try disabling and re-enabling Siri but changing the hotkey for it.

HTH.

Get yourself a USB device, preferably a headset with mic. Best bang for your buck.
