mic working but no input in apps

Hi, i use asus vivobook mic in my laptop works according to the test mic results in settings. But there is no input in any of the apps other than cortana, i've checked the privacy setting of those apps (discord, whatsapp web, zoom, chrome etc) they're all allowed to use the mic but still there's no input please help?

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 Input and Speaker Output not able to work at the same time

Hi,

So it seems after a recent update, the Mic on my laptop stopped working with applications. When I go to control panel > Sound > Recording, I can see the levels moving, so I'm guessing the mic is still working. But all my communication apps (Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp) are not able to "utilise" the mic, I can select the mic but there is no input when I test.

I saw a solution posted by another advisor which was to manually update the driver and do the following steps:

> Audio inputs and outputs > Microphone array
> Sound, video and game controllers > Realtek(R) Audio

- Locate the said driver in Device Manager
- Right click on the driver and select "Update Driver".
- Next select "Browse my computer for drivers"
- Click on "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer".
- Make sure the option "Show compatible hardware" is checked.
- For Microphone array driver, select Generic device and click Next.
- For Realtek(R) Audio driver, select High Definition Audio Device and click Next.
- If the issue is still there, try uninstalling the driver and restart your computer.

I did it, it brought back my mic, but then there would be no sound coming from the speaker. To bring the speakers back I had to delete and remove all the drivers, but doing so then brought me back to square one with no mic.

So now I'm stuck between choosing a working speaker or a working mic.
