I am not sure how to even fix this, I hope someone can point me int he right direction.
I have not turned anything on or off BUT the microphone does not work as a stand alone or with my headset.
I can hear people but they cannot hear me.
Any direction? I can see it turned on. I test it and sometimes it recognizes and others it does not. Even when recognized, I still cannot use it correctly as folks say they cannot hear me.

    Hi,
    Type "Voice Recorder" at start search, at the next window you can test your microphone by recording and play it back. If you find any problem, go to Sound 
    settings and click troubleshoot. You could also blow softly in to the mic to remove any dust(it's in a wrong place) but don't use anything to clean it.

    If you're experiencing problems with your microphone, don't worry! There are a few things you can try to get it working properly again. In this guide, we'll cover three methods that have worked for many users in the past.

    Method 1 involves setting the microphone as the default device. This is a simple step that can make a big difference in how your microphone functions. To do this, right-click the Speaker Icon at the bottom right corner of your screen and select Recording devices. In the Sound dialog box, click on the Recording tab and look for the Microphone. If it's not set as the default device, click the Set Default button to make it the default. Remember that the device name and icon may look different on your computer. Once you've done this, click OK and Apply.

    Method 2 involves checking if the microphone is muted and increasing its volume. Sometimes, the microphone may be muted or its volume may be too low, which can cause it to not work properly. To check this, right-click the Speaker Icon again and select Recording devices. In the Sound dialog box, click on the Recording tab and select the default microphone. Click the Properties button and then select the Levels tab. If the volume is muted, you'll see a sound icon that looks like it has a cross through it. Click this to unmute the microphone and make sure the volume is set to at least 50. Once you've done this, click OK and Apply.

    Method 3 involves updating all of your drivers. Sometimes, driver conflicts can cause issues with your microphone. You can update the drivers manually, but this can be time-consuming and complicated. An easier option is to use Driver Easy, which can automatically update all of your drivers for you. This is a great option if you don't have the time or expertise to update them yourself.
