I don't have Win8, but try opening the Windows Control panel and re-select the microphone as your default "recording input". (I realize you may not be recording, but your recording device is your audio input device and the playback device is your audio output device.
On Win7, you can right-click the volume control icon and then click
Recording Devices, but I don't know if Win8 is the same.
P.S.
I found
these instructions for accessing the Windows Sound Control Panel.

So Windows 8 does still have those baby-blue bouncing sound meters. I've been sending people off to find them not knowing if they succeeded or not.

Windows 8 has exactly the same "Sound" applet as Windows 7.
It even says so here on our very own Wiki page:
