Windows 10: Microphone not working for zoom

I have already checked all the normal settings, etc!!


1. A couple days ago, I tried to connect my iphone to the bluetooth on my laptop. I wanted to be able to share audio from an app in my phone during a zoom meeting. Windows 10 told me that my phone was paired. But no sound came through the laptop.


2. I cannot use a cable to connect my phone because there is no microphone outlet on my laptop; it only has an outlet for headphones.


3. I searched lots of recommendations online and tried them sorry, I'm not good with this and can't tell you exactly what I tried.


4. I had a zoom meeting afterward, and my microphone worked fine.


5. Yesterday, my system said that I needed to restart and said something about microphone. I restarted the laptop.


6. Last night, I tried to host a zoom meeting and could not be heard.


I have followed numerous tips online and nothing is helping.

a. According to the advanced settings in zoom, my microphone is connected. However, when I test the microphone in zoom, it does not record my voice.

b. The settings in Windows 10 show that my laptop has permission to use my microphone in the zoom app.


I'm convinced that I inadvertently changed something a couple days ago when trying to troubleshoot the bluetooth problem. I think that change took effect when I restarted the laptop yesterday. But I have no idea what change I may have made. Everything that I know to check looks correct, yet the microphone is not recording me when I talk in zoom.

Microphone not working with meeting apps, zoom and google hangouts etc

My microphone is working properly, I have gone through all of the steps recommended by all of the apps and articles online. Multiple times.

The microphone will work for 2 or 3 seconds and then stop working in both zoom and google hangouts. I used zoom several times earlier this week without any issue. I didn't change any settings. Just. stopped. working.
