Windows 10: Audio quality suddenly drops

Seemingly out of nowhere, the quality of my audio on my bluetooth headphones has dropped. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, updating the computer, restarting the computer, using the audio troubleshooter, and forgetting and repairing the device. I've also looked at the device manufacturer and they say that there is no specific driver they use, so the problem is coming from the computer.

ATR 2500 USB Mic quality dropped suddenly

I've been using this mic for weeks to record voice overs in premiere pro on windows 10. Today the quality dropped significantly and I'm not sure why. Any help is appreciated - Here's what I've tried so far

• Uninstalled and reinstalled all audio drivers (failed)
  
• Did a system restore to a point created 2 days ago (failed)
  
• Ran through security settings for microphone to make sure programs are allow access
  
• Tested the mic on my laptop: audio quality seems good there still
  
• Ran troubleshooter on sound devices (failed to find issues)
