Hello folks! I have an XLR microphone plugged into a Scarlett Solo 2i2 4th gen. Seemingly, the only application I can actually use it in is Discord, as all other applications (including windows control panel!!) don't pick up any input from my microphone at all. I have made sure to turn off "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in Control Panel but it hasn't done anything. I've been relegated to using a webcam mic for everything besides discord.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

I’ve been prescribed melatonin, ramelteon, and now doxepin for sleep but so far all of them are making my nightmares worse. Are there any meds that straight up stop dreams/nightmares from occurring in the first place or do I need to ask my doctor for a benzodiazepine?

Edit: to all the people suggesting cannabis and other weed-related substances like CBD and CBN, I already am a heavy daily user for chronic pain but prefer not to use it for sleep because of it’s other effects like cotton mouth. Very familiar with the effects already. Thanks for the suggestion regardless

Edit 2: Respectfully, to all of the people still recommending weed… can you read?
