Solved Windows 10 - microphone no longer works

[GTiceman]

does anyone know why I have "microphone array" in my recording devices? and does anyone else have this too or is it just me?

I also have this in recording devices as well as Headset Mic and Stereo Mix , not in Device Manager

hello
I have an SP1 with the same issues. I've tried both the suggested fixes but they don't work for me. I deleted the high def audio device from the sound and game controller in device manager as I don't have a listing for the realtek one and restarted but I still have the same problem.

any advice?

thanks

Your Surface Pro 1 may need a different solution than that posted here for SP3. If you have access to any kind of USB microphone, connecting it to your SP1 may just fix the problems, by re-provisioning your high def audio device.
