I have a Sennheiser headset with a built in microphone which i usually use when i am talking with my friends while gaming. I was using it just earlier today. But after my laptop updated a few hours ago i've been unable to use my mic since the realtek high definition mic has been set to the laptops internal mic. I am not sure on what to do
 
Assuming Windows 10:

Right mouse-click the volume icon in the System Notification area, near the clock in the lower right hand corner of the display, and choose Sounds.

● In the Sound dialog window that opens up, choose the Recording tab.

● On the Recording tab, left mouse-click the audio device associated with your Sennheiser headset to choose the correct microphone you wish to use for input, then click the Set Default button.

Click Ok to close the Sound dialog window.
 


The problem is that the only other device shown here is the laptops internal mic
