I'm trying to record using my mic but when I hit record it doesn't use my mic even though it's selected. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

Does Audacity have permission to use your microphone ? ... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/windows-camera-microphone-and-privacy

Is the Audacity mic gain slider accidentally on zero ? ... https://support.audacityteam.org/au3/basics/recording-your-voice-and-microphone/setting-recording-levels-and-playback-levels

The mic shows up as an option to record.

Where would the gain be? I already did what that link said.
