Hi! @TopFueler, I am the MrRobot. It looks like you were interacting with @MKazi, but he is out of the office today so I'll take over from here.

 

I appreciate your efforts for trying out the steps.

 

Please try the steps recommended below.

 

Try going to control panel -> Go to hardware and sound -> sound -> recording -> double click the microphone in use -> select more settings -> disable allow applications to control this device exclusively. Check if this helps.

 

Also, if the issue persists, please uninstall the audio drivers from device manager and install the drivers from recovery manager.

 

Refer this article to know how to install drivers from recovery manager.

 

 

Hope this helps!

Have a great day ahead! 🙂
