If you have a realtek generic sound driver, which a lot of PC's have as standard now, you will need to update to the latest drivers.
I went through all the below steps but none of them were successful, however, they may solve the issue before the final solution I found. There are a few things recommended before you do this final step but it's entirely up to you. I tested my Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 and everything worked flawlessly, so I know it was something to do with how windows was 'seeing' the Apollo. Once unplugging the USB from the laptop, the onboard mic would be detected and all the above programs would see the mic levels without issue.

Please sticky this! - I hope this helps owners troubleshoot in one comprehensive post.
