If I don’t go to legacy Google Voice I can’t call because it says I don’t have a mic on my computer. I don’t want to call with my computer, I want GV to call my landline like legacy GV does. Anyone know how to make it work (in case legacy goes away)?

Found it. Under the Calls section of settings, there’s an option “Always use my phone to place calls” that must be turned on.
