Microphone input registering as 0% volume

I have the same issue with my JBL headset.

When connected to my phone, the speakers and microphone works perfect.

When connected to my pc, the speakers work, but not the microphone. Drivers are up to date, volume is set to where it should be, but when testing the microphone, I get a 0% volume return.

laptop microphone pickup - very low volume since update

Laptop microphone output volume is VERY low since Windows 10 update that I installed 6/10/20. No other changes. Zoom app (and microphone test through Windows) can barely pick up my voice. Noted that drivers for Intel Smart Sound Technology were updated
in this build. (Volume set at 100%) Any suggestions?
