No matter what I do, none of my microphones will come through.

1. Click on the WIN + I keys
2. Go in privacy
3. Go on microphone.
4. Choose your preferred setting to Allow applications to access your microphone.
5. Under Choose which apps can access your microphone and enable or disable individual settings for apps and services.

Restart the pc and see if it returned to normal

Hi, JamesGrantMH

You did the right thing to update, always keep the updates up to date, so that there are no future errors.

If you need I will be at your disposal!

I've looked through as many tabs of the sound settings as i know of and still no cigar, this computer is new so it shouldnt be acting up like this.
