HyperX Cloud 2 - Weird problem with mic

[Emerion57]

My headset's mic, which I've had no problems with in the past suddenly stopped working properly on one of my 2 pc's. On my laptop everything seems fine when speaking over Discord, but when i plug it in my desktop I cant seem to get the mic working.
I've installed new firmware and drivers without any luck, and honestly have no clue what to try next.

Have you tried unplugging and repluggling the mic itself?

Hi, yea. But i figured it out anyways. It was because Microsoft newest Windows 10 update changed my pc's rights to use my mic. I had to manually make an exception for certain apps. For anyone else who might have this problem, go to "Settings > Privacy > Microphone" and read from there.

I had the exact same issue last night after a windows update. Ive gone into Settings > Privacy > Microphone but am unsure what to change. Any tips?
