Hey Le_frosk,
If you haven't yet, try restarting the device and see if it that helps remove the unknown microphone usage. There might be no apps actually accessing your microphone and it might've been an app that has already been closed. Restarting the device can possibly clear this out:
How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, or later
1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
Let us know if this helps!
Best regards.
