I have two microphones at home, a standing mic and one from my earphones, and I've tried both for the same scenario. This happened only recently. . .

Under the recording tab in the sound pop-up, I see sound recording levels increase when i knock on my table or type on the keyboard. However, the sound levels do not increase when i speak into my mic. My friends have said the same thing, that they're unable to hear me speak but they're able to hear me knock on my desk

I'm not sure if there is a problem with my voice or it's a component fault in my pc. I'm at lost here. please help!!
