Why is my laptop microphone not working?

Question

Microphones

In general, a couple of days ago I calmly played, then I restarted the laptop.
After a while, I notice that the microphone does not work in my headphones (Type for phones that) I put the headphones out of the plug and then put them back in. Realtek's context menu appears with a suggestion how to designate this device -> I press the headset.
But that's not the problem, the microphone again does not work. I take out the headphones and check the laptop's built-in microphone - it still works. (I also reinstalled the drivers, it doesn’t roll)

UPD: So, I’ll clarify, when in the context menu of realtek I choose to designate the device as: “Microphone”, the voice starts to be recorded in the ear cushion itself, well, or heads.
