Description
**Has this feature been discussed and generally agreed?**
No, but it should be an easy task to do.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
If a macOS user has disabled microphone access by wrongly selecting don’t allow microphone access, it might get confusing why the microphone "doesn’t work".
There should be a warning message which is invoked once you connect to a server which hints you at the problem.
This message should
1. Not stop the user from connecting to a server (maybe he’s just a listening client?)
2. Have a button to open privacy settings
Can’t work on it right now, so I‘d be happy if a macOS dev would look at it.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the macOS connection flow and microphone-permission handling; the change is done when a denied microphone permission produces a non-blocking warning with a button to open privacy settings, while still allowing connection.
