- Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone.
- Turn on ASIST in the list.
- Quit ASIST and open it again.

Resetting the permission
Section titled “Resetting the permission”If ASIST does not appear in the list, or the permission seems wrong, remove it in Terminal, then open ASIST again and allow it again.
