No Whatsapp Mic

W10
Whatsapp text works fine but I can't get audio out to work.
Have been through all the "how to" help and can't find a microphone to turn on for Whatsapp.

Thank you.

Ok, let's try another approach.
This is a new ASUS laptop and I am new to W10.

It is not just Whatsapp; I cant get the microphone to work on other apps either.
I've been through all the steps with privacy, camera, connecting apps and I guess a few others.
There must be some simple enable step I'm missing.

Well, persistence does pay off. I followed some instructions to check for needed driver updates with My Asus and yes, there were newer versions for audio and camera.
I installed them and all is well.
Funny thing is checking in Device Manager I was told I had the latest of everything.
So I learned something new this evening.

Microphone issues

Hi Michael,

Here are the possible reasons why you're getting an error "The microphone did not pick anything up" when using it:

• Incorrect settings (microphone is not set as default device)
  
• Corrupted or outdated driver
  
• Faulty device
  

For us to isolate the issue, we'd like to know the following:

• Were there any changes made to your computer prior to this issue(e.g. Windows updates)?
  
• Have you tried connecting other microphone to your computer?
  
• Have you tried connecting the microphone to the other computer?
  

In the meantime, we suggest running the Recording Audio Troubleshooter to find and repair problems with recording sound. We also suggest checking if your microphone is set as your default recording device. For troubleshooting steps, please see

We're looking forward to your reply.
