I tried to setup a microphone for my PC. I got an error from settings -> time language -> microphone start, for Speech Diagnostic Calibrate Error.

OS: Windows 11 Pro

Error:

path: C:\Windows\Diagnostics\Index\SpeechDiagnostic.xml,

error code: 0x80004003 E_POINTER invalid pointer,

comment: elevated ( admin privilege )

It does not recognize speech, but it can record from a microphone with "windows voice recorder."

Please tell me how to fix the microphone error.

Thanks.

    In my case, after uninstalling the offending win 10 update and rebooting, I no longer get the error, and after proceeding through the get started workflow and microphone troubleshooting steps, I've now confirmed dictation is working using the dictation toolbar via Win + H.

    Update2: I realized that the security patch KB5014699 got also installed on 21H2. And after removing it temporarily the problem got fixed again. So it looks like currently the only way to get rid of the 80004003 error is to disable KB5014699. I hope there will be a secure solution soon.
