Built-in mic not working, but works when using my bluetooth headset

Hello, My laptop won't recognize any audio input from the built-in mic, or a mic plugged in through the audio jack. But it works fine when my Bluetooth headset is connected. Has anyone had a similar issue? I have tried every single fix I could find on the internet but I just can't bring my mic back to life. I had a problem with my mic muting itself before but managed to fix that, and for a while, I could use the built-in mic and my 3.5 headphones just fine. But now it only works if I connect my sony wireless headphones to the laptop. The speakers work fine, no issue there. But the mic just won't pick up any sound. I also tried to set up the microphone using the wizard, no luck. The troubleshooter are zero help as well. I have checked if all the relevant audio processes are running and they are. I thought about reinstalling the driver but when I tried to find the newest realtek hd audio driver I couldn't find anything from official sources and not super keen on downloading drivers from a random website. Halp please! Any ideas on how I can fix this? My Razer 15 is brand new, so I'm currently refusing to even think this is a hardware problem. Thanks!
