Hi all,
I've been having issues with my microphone stopping working properly after I had a Windows update issue. First, I did the update and it kind of broke my machine, I couldn't get it started, and the IT at my work reinstalled the previous Window version. After that, the microphone just hasn't worked (and I really need it for a Zoom training I'm doing).
I've tried every fix under the sun in various fora/websites, including all the fixes prescribed by Microsoft. Nothing works, or if it does, it stops working after a few minutes and the mike just stops.
I've tried installing the Realtek drive, uninstalling it, reinstalling it twice; tried lots of different sound settings by enabling and disabling and enabling again; tried to fiddle with the device manager, restarting some sound devices; tried the troubleshooting; did the new Windows update; bought a new headset with a different microphone, etc. Currently, which is a new thing, instead of just not working at all, the microphone bar moves when I test it, but there is only a 'space' sound when I play it back. I have 'Stereo Mix (RealtekR Audio)' and 'Microphone (RealtekR Audio)', and neither work.
Besides buying a new laptop or just uninstalling Windows again, is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
Mariana
