    Microphones don't work


    I've been having issues with my computer since the end of last summer. I use headphones with a built in microphone when using any online voice/video calling services to talk to my friends, but the microphone part hasn't been working. I thought this was just an issue with Discord, but it's not. I want to clarify that the problem is NOT with my headsets. It doesn't matter which ones I use. None of them work on my computer output audio is fine, however, but I don't have this issue with any other device i.e. my tablet, phone. I've tried troubleshooting, but still can't figure it out and this is extremely frustrating. I've had this computer since January 2019 and everything worked fine until late summer 2019.
