mic has stopped working, disappeared from all menus, device manager, tried sound trouble shooter, says nothing is connected, gaming oh hold due to know coms,
For starters, which brand and model? Integrated into your headset or standalone? Separate connector, or shared with your headset, or bluetooth?
If this is a desktop and your mic's connected to any front panel connector, try rear panel ones.

Might be time for a replacement headset or a new tabletop mic, otherwise.
