    I may be missing something here, but if the response is on screen, then isn't it working?

    Or is it that you want a verbal response?

    I thought you can just do this from https://www.google.com if you're using the Chrome browser?

    Did you misunderstand that when the OP said moke he meant mic, and that he can speak to it just fine ... the issue is it speaking back? :)

    You don't always get a verbal response. Depends what questions you are asking.

    On a phone (for example) the Google Assistant usually responds to confirm the request is being processed ... perhaps not always a good thing. ("OK - finding your favourite hard core website") :D
