Question Rear Mic Jack not working

As the title says my rear mic jack isn't working. When I plug in my mic it appears and then disappears rapidly. The front works but since my headphones are up there as well my friends can hear my Discord audio. I did a small amount of monitored travel with my computer and nothing else was damaged. It makes me think that that jack is now ruined. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello

Can you please try this:

Type Find and fix problems with recording sound in the Cortana search box and follow the on-screen instructions to fix the issue.

If the above doesn't work, please try uninstalling and then re-installing the latest audio driver.

If nothing works, you may want to try running the SFC /SCANNOW Command to let Windows 10 automatically find and fix any issues with the system files.

Good Luck!!
