Here’s what to do:

1. Find Your Microphone Champion:
   • Open Settings, that familiar gear icon on your taskbar.
   • Venture into the land of “System” and then “Sound.”
   • Under the section titled “Input,” you’ll see a champion-worthy dropdown menu called “Choose your input device.” This is where you pick your microphone.
   • If your microphone isn’t there, don’t lose hope! We’ll tackle that later.
2. Test Your Microphone’s Might:
   • Now that you’ve chosen your microphone warrior, put it to the test! Look for the “Test your microphone” section.
   • Feeling a little unsure? No problem! Just unleash your inner rockstar with an air guitar solo or recite your grocery list with gusto.
   • A green bar should jump up and down as you speak, letting you know Windows 10 hears your glorious voice.
3. Level Up Your Audio Game:
   • Even a working microphone might sometimes sound like it’s whispering secrets. To make your voice boom, right-click on your chosen microphone from the “Choose your input device” menu.
   • Select “Device properties.” Here, under the “Levels” tab, you’ll find a mighty slider for “Microphone.” Slide this up to give your microphone a power boost!
4. Grant Microphone Access: Befriending the App Gatekeepers
   • Some apps, like those video call battlegrounds you frequent, need your microphone’s permission to join the party.
   • To grant them access, head back to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
   • Make sure the “Allow apps to access your microphone” toggle switch is flipped on. Now you get to choose which apps get to be your microphone’s best friends. Scroll down and turn on the switches for the apps you want to use your microphone with.
