Ok, so i noticed my microphone was not picking up any sounds at all. I've done everything you possible could do to fix this. Whats wierd is that when i enable the option Listen to this device i could hear myself and the mic is working perfectly like it did before this problem occurred. Also when i enable this option the soundbar also starts to work, but when i try to use the mic while in discord or ingame it still wont work. I'm not a noob at computer stuff so dont ask me if I've tried to reinstall the drivers and shit, it wont work.

And I've also tried a diffrerent mic, it still has the same problem. I'm not sure if a windows update did this or not. I uninstalled the latest windows update, but nothing changed. I've also tried troubleshooting, it says no problems.

pls help me

Try this:

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
