STT Doesn't work second time

[PlazmaDolphin]

For some reason, this program works perfectly for me the first time around, but on the second loop (after 1 GPT response is spoken), the Speech-To-Text fails and always returns a blank string no matter what I say.
This happens with both the speechtotext_from_mic and speechtotext_from_mic_continuous functions
This also happens when running azure_speech_to_text.py in isolation.

Running using VScode console in Win11
