Once you have accessed your Chrome settings, you will see a search bar at the top that says “Search Settings.” Click into that search bar and search for “Site Settings.” Once you’ve found site settings, click on that option.

Under Site Settings, you can scroll slightly and see the permissions tab. Here you will find both the Microphone and Camera options. Select the microphone option. Here you will have the ability to change the default option of asking permission to use your selected microphone.
