Windows 10: Headset volume decreases/degrades when using built in microphone on Windows 11

Hi. I am having an issue where my headset volume decreases/degrades when using the built in microphone. The problem occurs when using my Sony WH-1000XM4 connected via Bluetooth. If I connect a wired headset, this problem does not seem to occur. My operating system is Windows 11. Seeking information or assistance on how I may be able to stop this volume drop when the microphone is activated when using the wireless headset. Thanks for any comments that may help.

Microphone in Windows 10 problem (auto volume decrease)



I am using Windows 10 versoin 1511 Build 10586.218. My sound card is built in Realtek HD Audio.

Whenever, I use the mic, say for example, Skype call or in Control Panel>Speech Recognition>Setup Microphone,
my microphone volume starts decreasing from 100 to downward. (Notice that it only decreases when the microphone is
being used in some software. If I just speak to it in idle window, the volume does not decrease.)

Now whether I install the Realtek audio driver or not, it did not matter. I have also put "Do Nothing" in Sound>Communication.

Know that this kind of problem did not exist in my Windows 8.1.
