Microphone issue after update - picks up friends audio but not mine?

I have a unique issue after a windows update where when I speak to a friend on discord now, my mic doesn't work but when my friend speaks, I can see in the windows microphone settings the bar goes up and down ONLY when they speak.

For some reason my system is picking up my friend speaking but not me - its so weird - does anyone have any solve?

I've tried everything, updating/uninstalling drivers, restarts, tried to roll back system but can't.

It feels like my input it somehow connected to other peoples audio. It's so strange.

The mic is showing as an input device.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
