Windows 10: No input levels detected on bluetooth microphone

I have a BackBeat FIT 3150 headset which works perfectly with my phone.When I pair it to my computer windows 10 the microphone shows up and can be selected for use, but does not record any input levels.My headset shows it is paired, "music ,voice" and plays sound normally. The recording settings are set to, ""PLT BB FIT 3510 L hands free AG Audio" - it is enabled and set to default, all other recording devices are disabled for certainty. For some reason it shows no input on the side bar.I trouble shoot it - says the microphone needs to be set up. When I try to set it up it opens the speech

Microphone: No Levels, Is detected and Is working when "listen to this device" is on

All of my USB microphones are being detected by Windows 10. Drivers installed and updated.

When I view the levels I get nothing. Microphone input levels have been muted, un-muted, and turned to 0 and back to 100.

All other software detects the microphones, but there is no audio. When I go into my sounds control panel and check listen to this device, they work just fine. Mic volume comes through the speakers fine. However, there are no input levels. Multiple mics
checked - Rode Podcaster, Logitech 1080p HD Webcam Mic, and a Razor headset.

To review:

- Mics are detected

- Drivers updated

- Listen to this device works

- no levels in any software or sound control panel

- multiple mics tested

In addition:

- Flashed and updated BIOS

- Updated MoBo Firmware and USB Drivers

- Reinstalled Audio drivers for sound card.

I'm at a loss at what else to try.

 

Applications have very low microphone input level?

I've got a 32-bit Windows machine that I've been using for several years now with devices on the microphone port for input. I've not used that feature for the last few months though (I mostly do that kind of work in the Winter), and now I find it's not working.

The device is definitely supplying signal at the cord end that goes into the PC microphone jack. The microphone control panel level meter is showing good input signal. If I "Listen" to loopback the microphone to the speakers in the PC, I have a good volume level signal.

However, in my applications (I've tried 4 different ones so far) the signal being input is unusably low. Like barely detectable. I tried increasing the microphone level and gain. That has no impact on what the applications are seeing (but will peg the control panel meter easily and seriously distort the loopback output).

I'm at a loss on how to continue debugging. The sound is definitely coming in to the system. It's on the input side, so I don't have application specific sliders that could have become mis-set like the output side has. Just somehow it's no longer being delivered to applications.
