Windows 10: Headset Microphone Issues

I deleted a headset mic from my computer in device manager and now I can't figured out how to reinstall that mic. I've looked for hours online trying to figure out how to get it back to no avail. So I'm writing this in hopes that someone knows the solution to my problem.

Razer Headset (Carcharias) Microphone issue.

When I was headset hunting couple years ago, I bought and returned the Carcharias just for that reason. The ear muffs leak way to much noise, and the microphone pics it up, even though I loved the comfy fit. I ended up getting one of those Creative Fatal1ty headsets. Pretty much identical headset, but w/o the issue. It is just a flaw in design.
