Windows 10: Headphone microphone turns on whenever it detects audio and a portion of the screen freezes...

Headphone microphone is turning itself on anytime I open up a video on youtube or listen to a song on spotify, anything that has sound in it makes it turn on no matter how many times I turn it off and half of the screen freezes sometimes at random times for no apparent reason, happens likely when alt tabbing but also happens sometimes when I don't even use the alt tab feature, this is too annoying and it needs to be fixed. I'm already running the latest version of windows updates and drivers for my headphones and graphics card I regret updating to 24H2. Everything was fine in 23H2.

My laptop microphone isn't detected as an audio input device when I plug in headphones.

I have been using a pair of bluetooth headphones for the past couple of weeks with my laptop. I use the audio output of the headphones along with my laptop's built in microphone as it is better quality. Today however, windows stopped recognizing my laptop microphone as an audio input while my headphones are connected. I am able to use the microphone whenever the headphones are not connected. My microphone input is listed as "Microphone Array (AMD Audio Device)" and remains listed while the headphones are connected, but produces no sound and is not detected by programs like Sound Recorder.

It was working fine until I attempted to disable "Handsfree Telephony" to stop the audio quality from lowering. After I re-enabled this setting, I ran into the issue.

 

Microphone on Headphones Not Detected (Windows 10)

I have the Astro A10 Headphones, which come with a microphone.

I have done a couple things to try and find the microphone, but it does not show up anywhere, as if the headphones don't have a microphone at all.

I've tried looking in the Recording tab of Sound on the volume mixer (I clicked on Show Disabled/Disconnected devices).

I've also tried looking in Device Manager under Audio Inputs and outputs.

These headphones are in perfect working condition but the microphone on them is not detected at all. In fact, I've had this problem across all headphones that have a built-in microphone. They are never, ever, detected anywhere, on the system.

Please help... My laptop's built in microphone is good, but it picks up the sound of my keyboard and mouse, as well as generally everything, too loudly.

It would be much better to use my headphone's microphone.
