I recently bought a Logitech C270 HD webcam, brand new. I cannot get its built-in mic to work. Video works fine but no mic is detected. I've made sure it's enabled in Device Manager. And under PC Settings>Privacy>Microphone, 'Let applications use my microphone' is set to On. I've installed the relevant drivers several times with no luck (had to do it from a 3rd party site as the Logitech support site isn't working properly). Zoom and Skype can't detect the mic. Neither can Sounds or Sound Recorder in Windows (running 8.1). When I run Troubleshooter, Windows says the mic is Disabled (which I can see it isn't).
I tried updating the onboard Realtek audio drivers from HP (my PC is a HP Pavilion 500-515) in case there was some sort of conflict, but that made the speakers stop working, with the same problem as the mic - Windows said they were disabled, which they weren't. Is there a setting hidden away in Windows that's disabling new audio devices? Any help appreciated.
