Windows 10: Microphone issues since installing windows 10

Hello everyone, and thanks for trying to help me out.

So, i'll try to explain as much as possible my issue :

I had to go to windows 10 in mid 2019 because it was requiered to make my new proc work.

Since then the microphone was very low, and couldn't find a single way to make it work as before. But today, it literally stopped working.

Things I tried :
-Installed - Uninstalled - Installed realteck audio driver (about 10 times)
-Turn on and off every single driver (2 times)
-Unistalled a lot of things, I have basically only steam and discord at this point)
-Checked every driver possible to see if they were up to date.
-Used a different microphone
-Used front and back pannel
-I even tried to see if the connections were made properly on my mobo.
-Maybe other things but I am not sure.

I post here because I am hopeless, I have tried to figure out by myself for the past 6-8 month, and I am exhausted, and today when the mic stopped working is the point where I lost all hope. So I turn to you guys.

I hope I am understandable, my English is correct but has a lot of flaws.

Here is my build :

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

Here

Here

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update problems and complaints

• Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Microsoft Edge problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Drivers problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Experience problems with the Fall Creators Update

keep in mind, as of recently, the FCU is installed on 5% of devices roughly.....

 

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• Corrupted or outdated driver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
Geethu B's on this
link.

We're looking forward to your reply.
