MacBook Pro 13-inch (2021) microphone not working

Hi,

My mic isn't working on my MBP 13" 2021. It just stopped working....I've checked all the settings and everything is normal. is there something else I can do except going for a repair? Anybody knows what a repair can cost for a mic?

many thanks,

Tom
