So I recently moved back home from school and as the title suggests, haven't been able to get the mic on my Corsair HS60 headset to pick up any audio. I've checked that the input devices are set correctly but in windows nothing gets picked up. However, I've noticed that audio will actually be picked up when I select "listen to this device" in my mic properties but not any other time. I've also tested this through the USB dongle that came with the headset.
Can anybody help or do I need to just pick up an external mic from the store to use?

Alright, this issue seems to be something that happened with windows since it recently updated on my computer. I know it's not a microphone issue since I've tried another mic and have also gotten input from both of them when I listen to the mic in my headset through the input device properties.
I'm almost at the point where I'm going to try reverting my windows version to what it was pre-update since prior to that it was working just fine. If anybody knows any possible solutions please either post in this thread or add me on steam
Edit: Thank you so much to Kutch (and his friend) for helping with this. If you're having issues like I did, go into your windows settings > privacy > microphone and make sure the slider is turned on. I was also linked this forum post on LinusTechTips.com where someone else ran into the same issue [Windows 10 OS]
