Chrome: not "remembering" the choice to allow access to microphone

Question

I have a super simple web page that uses the Web Speech API so that I can more easily communicate with my mom (she is deaf). Google's voice recognition is fast enough that I can talk to her in realtime (she reads the vr results).

My site: http://goo.gl/Wm69Mp

We are both using Chrome v30.0.1599.66.

The problem I'm running into is that every time I click on the microphone icon Chrome asks me if I want to allow access.

I click 'Allow' every time. If I look at Chrome's Media Settings for my site I see that the audio behavior is set to "Ask" but I can't seem to change it to "Allow".

Does anyone understand what is going on here?

UPDATE It looks like I might have to enable https for my choice to remembered. I'd still like someone to verify that for me if possible.

TIA! -CS

According to Google's Docs, if you select allow on a http URL your preference is not remembered. However if it is a https URL it will remember.
