After upgrade to 1803 my microphone is not working properly. I googeld and found many times this answer:
- Hit Windows key and search for "microphone privacy settings"
- Hit "Allow access to the microphone on this device"
- Switch "Allow apps to access your microphone" to ON
Among the apps that are showing is Edge. There the mike is working, but on chrome and my games microphone is not working
What is the make and model of your Mic? Is it connected via USB or 3.5mm jack?
Try and completely un install the drivers and registry keys. Restart and reinstall the drivers.
Did it, no luck. My microphone is working fine when testing on Edge. Not working on chrome and my game
Please note that the privacy "Microphone" page has hidden scroll bars at the extreme right of the screen. Scroll down and see if Google Chrome and your games are listed.

No scroll bar here. Asked manufacterer for latest drivers. No answer yet.
I had the same issue when I upgraded to 1803 on the Insider Program. I tried everything, the privacy settings. I even removed the driver and software. Reinstalled drivers and software, same problem.
I know this is probably not a solution you want to hear, but I clean installed the April update using the MCT. I booted to the USB flash drive it created and installed from there. Now my microphone works properly.
Normally in a situation like this, some would suggest a repair install. You can try this if you do not feel like clean installing.
Hopefully someone else will have another suggestion before you have to resort to this.
