However, most of the times the issues with toast notifications are application specific. Hence, I would suggest you to repair the app from Windows Settings.

1. Press Windows + I key to open Settings.

   Advance option.

5. If the issue persist then Reset the app.

Note: Resetting the app will not delete the data but you need to reconfigure it with the email account that you were using prior to the reset.

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.

 

Mic issue with Realtek

Hi,

I would suggest you to first check if the MIC is set as the default device. Right click on the volume bar in the notification area and then click on 'recording' devices. In the recording tab, right click in the MIC and click 'Set as Default' and then check. If
the issue still persists, I would suggest run the Audio troubleshooter and check. Press Windows key +X and then click on 'Control panel'. Click on 'Troubleshooting' and then click on the 'Audio troubleshooter' Try these steps and let us know the results.
