Windows 10: Need some help with my microphone on windows 10.

I just reinstalled windows 10 because I changed the hard drive with a SSD. Before the change I was using the same OS but now I can't use a microphone at all. I installed latest realtek drivers from the computer website and it didn't work, i changed them with the ones on the realtek website and it didn't work. Searching on the internet I've tried anything, updating drivers, checking privacy settings on my pc but nothing changed. The computer sees a microphone in the devices but it is mute, doesn't listen any sound, neither the internal mic nor the headphones one . I really don't have any other idea to solve that, hope anyone can help me.
