Restart your device and check if Ok Google is working.

- It can be done by Google App>More>Settings>Voice>Languages.
- Now, select the proper and correct language as preferred.
#5 Checking the Mic
After trying all the above methods, the last option which is left is the Mic problem. In few scenarios, the device mic is not working correctly due to which Google service is not able to capture the audio.
- Try recording an Audio/Video while saying things and later identifying if it is the scenario.
