FiFine Microphone stopped working

I was working with fixing software issues with my controller, I never got it fixed so I reversed the changes but now every time I try to turn on my pc, my microphone is no long detected. I go into the sound/recording settings and its not popping up, its not even popping up on discord.
It runs with the plug and play system, so I figured if I went into the device manager and updated the drivers it would fix but it didn't, so I deleted the files for it in the device manager, unplugged the mic, plugged it back in and it worked.
BUT now I have to do that every time I turn the computer back on. Sometimes twice in one session.

    Dear Austin McCalester!

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

    Don't worry. I will work with you to resolve the issue.

    It sounds like your FiFine microphone is experiencing persistent detection issues. To better help you resolve this issue, please provide the following information:

    1. Computer device model: For example, is your computer a desktop or laptop? What is the specific model?
    2. Microphone specific model: What is the specific model of the FiFine microphone?
    3. Controller model: What model is the controller you mentioned to eliminate the error?

    With this information, I can more accurately determine the problem and provide a more targeted solution.

    Before that, you can try some general solutions below:

    1. Check the USB port: I saw that this brand of microphones in the Amazon store are basically USB interfaces. You can try plugging the microphone into a different USB port to see if the problem persists.
    2. Disable power management: Find your USB root hub in the device manager, right-click and select "Properties", and then uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the "Power Management" tab.
    3. Turn off fast startup: Sometimes turning off fast startup can solve some hardware compatibility issues when starting up. In the "Control Panel", select "Power Options", and then click "Choose what the power button does". Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable" and then under "Shutdown settings", make sure "Turn on fast startup" is unchecked. Fast startup can sometimes cause wakeup issues.
    4. Check for system updates: Make sure your operating system is up to date, sometimes system updates can fix driver issues.

    If there is anything else I would like to add, please feel free to let me know. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Best regards,
