My PC Built-in microphone stops working
My built-in microphone has stopped working entirely, with no sound being detected by any application despite the device showing as connected and enabled in Windows settings.

-You can try setting your microphone as default. Run mmsys.cpl command, and then select your microphone. Click on Set default.
