Audio/Microphone issue

Jul 25, 2016 1:43PM PDT

Hey , guys im in quiet a pinch right now , ive been with this problem for like 2 months , i dont know how that happened , but when i left my room while using teamspeak , my brother came in and used my pc , when i cameback i found that mic not working , so i kept searching all over the internet and did everything , bought new headphone to make sure its from it , but while i was on facebook (while on teamspeak chatting with mic not working ) i received a message wich made a (sound ) then i heard my sound on teamspeak ( cuz my -listen to mic is enabled ) , then i tried making some windows sounds and to activate mic ODD , i mean mic keeps mutting itself , but when i make some windows sound ( by dragging volume down/up ) the mic activates for a short while , i scanned for malwares , adwares , viruses , and nothing seems to work .
i also checked every single post about mic problems , but most of em say :

- Boost mic
- Reinstall drivers
- Restart pc
- Check if its from the mic itself
- Check mic volume
- Scan for Malwares
- Make a sacrifice to gods ...
so all i can say is help , cuz after this ( if it doesnt work ) ill have to reinstall windows Sad

thanks in advance .
