Meta Link/Wireless Link | Microphone level stuck at 50% on PC

My Quest 3 Mic works completely fine in headset native games, I cannot get it to work via Meta Link. I have tried reinstalling and repairing the Meta Link app, go through windows registries and reset tons of audio components and nothing has seemed to work. The Oculus Virtual Audio Device is listed in my devices and is not disabled, and its stuck at 50% audio level. 

I have also used a Rift S under the same Oculus Virtual Audio Device input when connected to the PC in the past. Since then I removed it as a device, and tried to delete any files that might be under Rift S. What could be the problem?

    It's perfectly normal for the Link mic audio level to show 50% 🤷‍♂️. The mic only works if you have an active connection to the PC and you open an app or game from the Link dashboard. This had me wrongly thinking that the mic wasn't working because Voice Attack wasn't 'hearing' the microphone (Voice Attack mic audio level stayed on zero), but then after launching a game such as Elite Dangerous, the mic started working as expected. It was because I always launch Voice Attack before I connect to the PC 😋.

    In comparison, I established a Link connection, opened the Link Remote Desktop, then opened Voice Attack using Remote Desktop, and the mic audio level in Voice Attack now showed the mic was working 🙂.
