  1. Headphone microphone mutes itself permanently after a few seconds


    I have recently purchased a Sennheiser GSP 300 headphone with a in-build microphone. However, when I try using the microphone on my laptop Lenovo Thinkpad E590 with fully up-to-date Windown 10 in various programmes Discord, Zoom, the mic works all right at the beginning, but then seemingly mutes itself after about 20-30 seconds, with no way to bring it back, except for resetting the call. This appears to be a software issue because on other devices it seems to work well. So far I have tried:- updating Windows- updating drivers- reinstalling drivers- troubleshooting the sound input in setti

    microphone mutes itself

    When i go into properties the mike is muted. When I unmute it works for less than a minute then mutes again. The only suggestion I have found is set as default device which does not solve problem. I have also read it is a virus but I cannot solve with malware or virus scans. It first became a problem just a few weeks ago while skyping. Never had a problem with mike until then.

    Troubleshooter finds the microphone muted and fixes, Within a minute the microphone mutes itself again.

    Headset/Microphone background reduction; suggestions

    There's a solution to this out there, but I cannot pinpoint the right search terminology to get accurate results.


    When I speak into my microphone, whatever sound is being sent into my headphones, is also directly sent to the microphone and outputted upon transmit.

    This means that it's not a case of the sound coming out of the headphones, then travelling to the microphone, it's actually going straight to the microphone instead.

    All I've come up with so far, is a suggestion to mute the microphone input via Windows. Though that seems to render the microphone useless.
