MIC Not working on Windows 10 PC(Using Realtek HD Audio Manager and Realtek drivers)

[brianfuguo]

My microphone was working yesterday but it suddenly stop responding. I am using the microphone built into my gaming headset. I am able to hear sound out of my headset but it isn't recording my voice. I check the sound setting and everything is turn on and the computer is able to recognize my microphone, just not able to pick up sounds from it. I tried to update all my sound drivers and switching to other mic ports but nothing would work. (Currently I am using the front panel audio jacks, but I've tried the rear ones as well) I also tested my mic on a separate computer and it is working. May I know what is wrong with my computer? Please help me fix my microphone

CPU: Ryzen 3 1200

Hello brianfuguo

Can you please try rolling-back your audio driver back to its previous version and see if helps? Sometimes the most updated drivers don't perform well due to some incompatibilities.

If that doesn't work, you can try Restoring Windows to Yesterday or Earlier to resolve the problem.

Cheers!!

Well unfortunately I cannot restore my computer to a previous point because the computer disable the system protection. I will try to install an older version of the sound driver, I will come back if I find anything else

I would like to point out that the mic and headphone has being working previously. I don't think it is related to the HD Audio connector to the mobo because the audio output is functioning in my headphone. Also, I try to plug the headphone to the rear audio ports, and again only the audio output works but not the inputs. Could this be a hardware problem? The following is a picture like mine.
