It's possible recording has never worked on your PC. But there's not a word about the PC so what if it's just broke?
I am trying to get windows 10 to record voice. I have failed. I have googled and followed any number of suggestions and failed at every one. Here is what I now have:
Audio inputs and outputs
Microphone
speakers
stereo mix (default for input)
realtec high definition audio
At one point I removed realtec in favor of microsoft high definition. When I rebooted realtec was back. The realtec driver is the latest and greatest.
I have tried both the microphone and stereo mix as default and neither hears anything. I have turned off all sound enhancements.
I have run trouble shooting several times to no avail.
At one point I was trying to record something and you tube started up and the utube audio got recorded but not my voice.
I have now spent all day trying to make this work. I wish there was someplace that had a step by step setup for this stuff as I fear I now have a genuine mess on my hands.
Thank you.............
