Why isn't my microphone working on the S5?

[AC Question]

why isn't my microphone working on the S5?

when I click on my micorphone icon (google Now), I cannot get the microphone to open. When I try to use SVoice, it says another app is using the mic. I don't have a flashlight app installed. I am not having issues with the video camera (I know that both are tied to the mic). The message is: " Can't open microphone"
