• Go to Settings.
• Choose Privacy.
• Click Microphone.
• Under Let apps use my microphone, slide the toggle button to turn it on.

Method 2: Set up Microphone from the Control Panel.



Modifying the Sound Settings may help in resolving your concern. Follow the steps below:

• Type Sound in Cortana Search.
• Choose the first search result.
• Click the Recording tab.
• If you can’t find the Microphone from the list, right-click on the list then select
  Show Disabled Devices, otherwise proceed to step 5.
• Right-click the Microphone.
• Select Enable.
• Click Properties.
• Choose the Levels tab.
• Set the Microphone volume to a higher value.
