Windows 10: Microphone is detected, but it can't pick up my voice.

Hey all, this problem has been bothering me for quite a while. Thanks in advance.

I have tried the following things while searching through the internet:

• Disabled and Enabled my microphone
• Set my microphone as standard device
• Triple-checked my Audio drivers
• Tested my microphone on different devices (It works perfectly fine there)
• Disabled/Enabled Sound Effects
• Messed with the Volume/Boost options and set them to standard
• Allowed Win10 to use the mic for all listed applications
• Tried using different microphones

Every article and thread I've seen so far stops at the advice above, with OP usually having found success in one of the tips above. I am really unsure what the cause of this could be, especially since my Microphone is indeed detected, as shown in all possible menus. I don't want to rule out that it's a hardware problem, but I'd (obviously) much prefer simply pressing a switch I missed in the menus, yknow ;P

Microphone detected but not picking up voice. (Windows 10)

I bought a new gaming pc and I've had for a week. I tried my phone's headphones to see if I could talk to my friends with it, but it doesn't pick up my voice. It recognizes the microphone but can't record voice. I've tried uninstalling the drivers and
reinstalling. I've the levels of the microphone and I've enabled and set the microphone as the default. How do I fix this?

 

Microphone cannot pick up voice but is detected by my computor

I recently thought it would be fun download the app Clown fish for my computer to change my voice in video games and during calls for discord. However, when i uninstalled Clown fish after the app was not working, my microphone stopped working. I tried everything
such as:

1. setting my mic as default

2. Running a trouble shooter for audio, speech, and microphone.

3. Updating drivers/Reinstalling.

4. Increasing the levels of my microphone in properties.

5. Disabling all the enchantments.

6. Checking to see if my mic is muted.

7. I even checked my head set on my phone and the microphone was working so it has to be my computer

8. Setting up microphone. (cannot work since computer cannot detect my voice clearly)

But my microphone was still extremely quiet. My Computer can detect that my head set is plugged in but my microphone cannot detect my voice very clearly. It can only detect my voice if i shout but when i talk normally, no audio shows up. I tried this on
the voice recorder.

 

Microphone detected but not picking up voice. (Windows 10)

I tried both and it still isn't working. I've also tried a USB microphone and that still can't pick up sound from my voice.
