Windows 10: Microphone button won't work on my headset/other programs!

So, recently, my headset's mic got broken. I bought a new headset, yet once i plugged it in, it didn't play my microphone. I tried on another device, and the headset was working just fine?? Anyone know how to fix this please? I can't speak in my meetings or calls thru my laptop

Here's what you can try:

1. Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone

2. Click the Change button, then make sure Microphone for this device is turned on.

3. Make sure Allow apps to access your microphone is turned on.

If you still continue to have the same problem after doing the troubleshooting steps, then proceed to the steps below:

1. Navigate to Control Panel > Sound

2. Select the Recording tab, then right click on any empty place inside the device list and tick Show Disabled Devices.

3. Right click the Headset Microphone and click Enable.

4. Right click it again and select Set as Default Device.

5. Right click Headset Microphone and click Properties.

6. Click the Levels tab, then drag the volume slider towards the largest value.

7. Click OK

Hopefully this resolves your issue.
