Description
The /voice command fails immediately with a message asking to check internet connection, even though the internet connection is fully stable and responsive.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code CLI
- Run
/voice - Output:
Voice mode enabled. Hold Space to record. - Hold Space to record → fails with "check internet" error
Expected Behavior
Voice mode should successfully record and transcribe speech.
Actual Behavior
Voice mode reports an internet connectivity issue despite the connection being fully functional.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.74
- OS: Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview (Build 29531)
- Platform: MINGW64_NT-10.0-29531 (Git Bash)
- Architecture: x64
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core @ 3600 MHz
- RAM: 32 GB
- Node.js: v24.13.1
- npm: 11.8.0
Network Diagnostics
Connection to Anthropic API is stable:
curl https://api.anthropic.com
HTTP Code: 404 (expected — server responds)
Total time: 0.174s
DNS lookup: 0.046s
ping api.anthropic.com (160.79.104.10)
Sent: 3, Received: 3, Lost: 0 (0% loss)
Min: 38ms, Max: 41ms, Avg: 39ms
The CLI itself works perfectly — this issue is isolated to the /voice feature.
Additional Context
- The Claude Code session is fully functional for all other operations (chat, tool use, etc.)
- No VPN or proxy is active
- Firewall is not blocking Anthropic endpoints (confirmed by successful curl/ping)
