My Dell Laptop microphone apparently suddenly stopped working. I tried all sorts of troubleshooting without success. Then I came across a fix on a Microsoft support page that suggested - I make sure apps have access to the microphone! This is something that is likely to happen after updating Windows 11. The suggested fix...
Select Start > Settings> Privacy & Security> Microphone and make sure Microphone access is turned on.
It's as simple as that.
