My Asus G75vw won't recognize my built in mic anymore.

Topic title says it all. Let a friend use it at a Lan party and he swears all he did was mute the mic, but now in recording devices it just says no audio devices installed. Any ideas? I'm stumped.

try to right click and check if the boxes are ticked for :

show disconnected devices
show disabled devices

That was the issue. I didn't realize disabled devices were hidden in win 8. Thanks for the answer.
