Windows 10: Microphone notification shows up but microphone isn't regonized?

When I plug my microphone into my computer a notification shows up saying that a device has been plugged in, but for some reason, in the sound panel, it still says that my microphone isn't plugged in and I can't use it. How do I fix this.

my microphone isn t working

configurationi Hello Angela,

Thank you for helping me, it is so nice to have your help. My answers to your questions are the next:

• I think that there are problems because it is a new laptop. A problem with the sistem concerning my web camera I solve it earlier, but the problem with my microphone I don't know how to solve it. I don't know why isn't working correctly.
• The troubleshooting I tried so far were Microfon Configuration>Microphon>Config. the microphone for recognising the talk>Start> Microphon configuration. After this my computer can't solve the problem.
• The windows version is 10.0.14393 Generare 14393 (I have to specific that my computer is in Romanian language).
• I don't have any microphone, so I just used the one who is integrated in windows.

I am waiting for your response as soon as possible.
