Solved headset/mic icon

[ripzilla]

I was adjusting my headset/microphone in the control panel when I mistakenly disabled it. The icon disappeared and I can’t figure out how to retrieve it. The head phones still work but the mike is dead. I didn’t unplug the device but the system doesn’t see it. Any help is appreciated.
