a peculiar issue with the YouTube app

Question

So I have a peculiar issue with the YouTube app on my Google TV (TCL R646)

The microphone works fine for Google assistant but then inside the YouTube app it just refuses to work when I click the mic icon in search

I have reset the app, repaired my remote, tried uninstalling and reinstalling app updates, checked permissions, even removed (though it automatically came back) Google Speech Services

I am at my wits end - how do I resolve this issue? I simply cannot use voice search on YouTube - which completely Ruins the YouTube Tv user experience

AFAIK it wasn't as bad when I got the TV 2 months ago - though my memory does not serve me well here.

Also - it sometimes does work (like once in a hundred times) but then idk what's the situation - perhaps it's the TV mic catching it and not the remote one - but this is also damn buggy

I have the exact same problem. It also doesn't work on other apps such as plex. A part of me thinks it's a tv software issue that can be fixed with a firmware update.
