Microphone stopped working

[teqtaq]

Hello there!
I am not sure if this question belongs to this forum, if not, please, direct me to the right place.

I have Realteck HD Front Green Jack microphone and it worked with Skype until today when it stopped.

When I go to the Master Volume>Option>Properties and choose Realteck HD Front Green Jack as Recording option - I do not see Microphone on the menu, only FGreen checked.

I had googled some possible solutions but none fixed the problem.

Any suggestions, please? Thanks

If you go to device Manager can you see any Yellow Exclamation marks?

Specifically in the "Sound, Video and Game Controllers" section.

What have you tried so far?

No. no yellow marks.
I had restored the system to the 12th of the month, I am reading and performing steps like in System "Sound, Video and Game Controllers" section - update driver.

Nothing fixing it. Speakers are fine. Mic is not.

I want to ask how is my voice getting heard by PC? Where is that 'hole'? Maybe it is plugged?
