Recently my audio input, from USB headset and USB guitar cable have stopped working. Going into Windows 'Sounds' and enabling 'Listen to this device' outputs the audio as expected; the problem is not with the devices. However, as soon as I try to use them with any other program, discord, for example, no audio input is detected by discord.
I have tried everything I can think of and some suggestions from Googling around;
-
Updating everything – windows, drivers, all related software
-
Rolling windows back to the last build
-
Trying different USB ports
-
Reinstalling drivers and software
-
Running Windows troubleshooters
-
Playing with device properties settings
But nothing seems to work, any suggestions?

New privacy "feature" in the 2018 Spring update, which of course is off by default.
