Windows 10: No Microphone Levels Showing in Output Windows 11

Hello everyone,I've had an issue related to seeing the "Microphone" under "Levels" when looking at my headset settings. On my home computer still Windows 10 I was able to manipulate the microphone volume in the Playback settings, which allowed me to have some mic monitoring just so I could hear myself talk with my headset on. The above picture I got off the internet, but it's pretty much what I'm able to see on my home PC. However, with my laptop being on Windows 11, it doesn't seem to allow this option.

Microphone detected but no output of sound

Hey,

I'm out of ideas. I have an XLR condenser microphone that connects to a preamp that then connects to my PC via USB.

Windows sees the device, I've reinstall drivers, the latest Windows update, and all of the normal things I can think of. The premap shows that my microphone is picking up sound, but I get no output to any application or Windows itself.

Any thoughts here or suggestions?
