Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Can we get the event of disabling microphone from device manager

Sure, you could use DeviceWatcher to detect this, if you disable microphone device , DeviceWatcher Removed event will be triggered.

For example

var watcher = DeviceInformation.CreateWatcher(DeviceClass.AudioCapture);  
watcher.Updated += Watcher_Updated;  
watcher.Added += Watcher_Added;  
watcher.Removed += Watcher_Removed;  
watcher.Start();  


private void Watcher_Removed(DeviceWatcher sender, DeviceInformationUpdate args)  
{  
    // will be triggered when disable audio capture device.   
}  

private void Watcher_Added(DeviceWatcher sender, DeviceInformation args)  
{  

}
