Windows 10: AUDIO INPUT SOURCE HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED

I have been using Microsoft voice recorder for several years and now suddenly today it comes up telling me that my audio input source has been disconnected and that recording is paused. This problem has come about in the past week. There have been no changes on the computer nor the device we are using. Using a USB Microsoft Headphone and Microphone set. I have tried updates, tried installing the driver again, tried checking that the driver is the most current. I've checked in devices and the microphone headset is connected. Troubleshooter said no issues and its working correctly. I removed Mic

Windows 10 Audio input to programs broken

Recently my audio input, from USB headset and USB guitar cable have stopped working. Going into Windows 'Sounds' and enabling 'Listen to this device' outputs the audio as expected; the problem is not with the devices. However, as soon as I try to use them with any other program, discord, for example, no audio input is detected by discord.

I have tried everything I can think of and some suggestions from Googling around;

• Updating everything - windows, drivers, all related software
  
• Rolling windows back to the last build
  
• Trying different USB ports
  
• Reinstalling drivers and software
  
• Running Windows troubleshooters
  
• Playing with device properties settings
  

But nothing seems to work, any suggestions?
