Broke my microphone

I wanted to mess with DroidCam and completely overlooked how the installation changed, also the difference between the classic client i know from Windows and the OBS-looking one. I followed the instalation process for the no-obs beta version (i have obs installed but found it a hassle to need to open it every time i wanted to have my phone as a more decent mic, as that's what i got from the website) despite it recommending it for video only. I tried to do as the website suggested, but in the end i couldn't get it to work, so i uninstalled it. Now my system won't detect its own built-in audio input, and i don't know what to do about it.

(Proceeds to open obs) Audio device aux/mic: 'Device is not connected or not avialable'

Pls let me know if i skipped important info.
