Failed to open sound input device

[kidleaderkty]

Running windows 10. Had no issues prior to the most recent update, and since then I have not be able to get my vent to pick up my microphone at all.

I've tried things outlined in previous threads (i.e. checking mic through windows, making sure device is enabled, vent input device set as directsound, etc.)

Failed to open sound input device. rc=-10, CreateCaptureBuffer failed. HR=E_FAIL. An undetermined error occurred
