My microphone does no longer detect any sounds,
I noticed that the only way to make the mic work is by checking the "Listen To This Device" option but it isn't really practical.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

I wonder if this is the problem:

>There's a microphone privacy options page. The latest insider's update has it blocking all apps by default.

>Hit Windows key and search for "microphone privacy settings"
>Hit "Allow access to the microphone on this device"
>Switch "Allow apps to access your microphone" to on


The mic is set as the default device and all the other input devices are disabled.
 


Tried doing that, didn't seem to work.
Mic model : BM-800
I'm testing the mic by looking to see if there's any sound being detected at the "Recording" tab.
