Windows 10: Can't edit mic privacy settings.

Needed to record some audio today. It was not recording so i went to my privacy settings and to try see if it was turned off for that device. however i am unable to edit my microphone privacy settings as all of the buttons and switches are greyed out and can not be interacted with. And there is a message saying "microphone access for this device is off" and i can not change it.

How to stop annoying mic popup ?

The thing that bugged me was the suggestion to go to privacy settings, but a setting of 'disable mic' is 'not allowed' and gives error message.

 

USB Mic Problems.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

How to edit Facebook sharing settings on WP7 ?

First, I would strongly suggest filing out this report to
file a privacy issue with Facebook.

Windows Phone should use the privacy settings set on Facebook. Some steps to try to get this account back in a good state…

• Go to the
  Facebook Privacy Settings page.
• Toggle from “Friends” to “Custom” to “Public” and back again to “Friends”. The simple action of toggling the privacy settings may reset the inheritance. This may take several times for the specific settings to stick from browser and then finally sync to
  the phone.
• After each change, go to Settings > Email+Accounts, tap-and-hold Facebook and tap Sync.
  

Or, if that doesn’t work try this…

• Go to Facebook.com and log in from your PC.
• On the top-right of the page, click the downward arrow next to Home and click Account Settings.
• Click Security. Next to Secure Browsing, click Edit and deselect “Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible”.Note: this is just temporary, you can change it back after you complete the rest of the steps below.
• Go to the Windows Phone on Facebook page:
  http://apps.facebook.com/7933375107/?ref=ts. Note: it will appear like an empty page, but refresh it a number of times until…
• When you go to http://facebook.com you see the “Windows Phone” app on the left-hand sidebar under APPS.
• Click the pencil icon next to “Windows Phone” and click Edit Settings. Scroll down to “Posts on your behalf” and ensure it’s set appropriately.

OR, try this:

• On your computer (not your phone), go to:
  https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications.
• Click "Edit" next to "Old versions of Facebook for mobile". Make sure this is set to Friends, Custom, or Public (whatever your desired privacy state is).

Let us know if this works or not.
