Hi, I've tried reinstalling the audio drivers and it still won't fix the problem. The microphone is not being detected. It worked once in the beginning, during when I had other sound problems and I had to reinstall an older version of the driver and now the microphone is not working. the driver is realtek audio

Go to settings>update and security >check for updates. Check the unit is upto date or not. Even updates can fix the issue.
You can also try the below step and check:

power drain: Just check the back of the unit, you can find a pin hole , unplug the charger and turn off the unit. now put a paper clip in the small pin hole and press and hold it for 30 sec.

BIOS default: After power drain is done, power on the unit, but as soon as you power on the unit keep pressing the F2 key so that it take you to BIOS page. Press F9 and press Enter than press F10 and press Enter. the unit will restart​

Hi, I have completed all the updates, I could only try the power drain method, although I'm not so good at executing it.

But do you see a pin hole at the back of the laptop. Its just a battery reset pinhole. Put a paper clip inside and press and hold it for 30 seconds when the laptop is off. If you not sure you can get someone help and try
