    Not detecting an input device


    my mic seems not be working, the volume adjust won't work it's always at 0% and won't move. I've tried almost everything reinstalling newest update and installing it, updated the drivers, troubleshooting and all the answers seems not to work. If anyone could help me it would be a lifesaver!

    Playback detecting Input Devices & Recording detecting Output Devices

    Hello!

    Today, I was playing SCP: Secret Laboratory. After I finished, I went and made tea. When I came back much later to play some more, I found that the in-game voice chat was not working for me; my microphone was not transmitting in-game.
    Looking into my Steam settings, I found that all my input devices were actually my output devices, and all my output devices were actually input devices. I initially thought this was an issue with Steam, so I restarted Steam and my PC.
    However, when the problem did not resolve, I looked to my sound settings and found that even in there, my playback devices detected inputs as outputs and recording devices detected outputs as inputs.

    How am I able to fix this problem?

    The VoiceMeeter inputs and outputs are from a sound managing device called VoiceMeeter Banana that I installed to allow for the creation of virtual line ins.
