Windows 10: Microphone working but not in apps??

So my microphone isn't working in apps but is working on the pc (can see the grey bar going up and down in settings).

The driver is up to date and the access is allowed in the apps. The device in the apps is set to the correct microphone and the settings for mic is 100%.

I have got it to work in voice recorder (it sounds extremely quiet though )

where do I go from here?

I'm trying to have a call on skype.

Microphone not working properly after upgrade to 1803

After upgrade to 1803 my microphone is not working properly. I googeld and found many times this answer:

1. Hit Windows key and search for "microphone privacy settings"
2. Hit "Allow access to the microphone on this device"
3. Switch "Allow apps to access your microphone" to ON

Among the apps that are showing is Edge. There the mike is working, but on chrome and my games microphone is not working
