Why is Firefox not picking up my microphone anymore?

I've attempted to answer calls on Hangouts and use the microphone on Duolingo, and neither recognizes any sound. These both work just fine in Chrome. Also Cortana works just fine too, so it's not the mic.

This used to work in FF just fine as well. I did do a clean install of Windows 10 on an SSD recently and that seems to be when FF stopped working with the mic.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, since it's happening on different websites this might not work, but worth a look. Go to the site then check under the Permissions tab that Microphone is enabled: Firefox Page Info window
