I have the exact same problem, and it occured also when I checked the box to
tell it (I thought) simply to not prompt me.

Obviously, as you have also discovered not only does this prevent it from
prompting, it also prevents it from working.

I've been unable to find anything documented anywhere about this message
box, or how to re-enable it. My computer thinks everything is configured
correctly, but the mic just doesn't do anything.
