  2. Google Meet is automatically adjusting my microphone volume in Windows 10. I'd like it to stop.

    I use Google Meet for work. There's no getting around this, as my company uses it for every meeting. However, I've had issues where my microphone volume will go silent or peak at 100 seemingly randomly during
    meetings. I went to check my settings in Windows and sure enough the microphone's volume slider was at 0 or 100. Out of curiosity, I left the Microphone Properties window open during a Google Meet meeting and I could see the volume slider move as
    I spoke.

    • There is no setting on Google Meet to disable automatic gain.
    • I've unchecked "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" under the Advanced tab in Windows.
    • I've updated my microphone's drivers.
    • I've uninstalled and reinstalled the microphone in the Device Manager.
    • I used my Logitech webcam's microphone to see if I had the same issue there (I did).
    • I used Google Meet in Opera, Firefox, and Edge to see if it was a Google Chrome issue (it isn't; the issue happened on each browser, for both mics).
    • I installed a script using nircmd to set the microphone volume to 50 every second, which is a band-aid fix for the slider moving around, but...

    Now I have issues where my microphone volume will drop to a very low volume, and turning the volume slider to 100 doesn't fix it. In fact, nothing resets it except doing a system restore. But a system restore doesn't prevent these issues from happening again.
    I'm guessing adjusting the volume slider at the same time Google Meet adjusts the volume causes an issue, but this is just a guess.

    I really need help. I'm stuck using Google Meet, and I'd prefer to continue using this Windows 10 machine as it makes life easier (minus this specific issue). Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

    Here are some general specs:

    • Windows 10 Home 64-bit
    • AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
    • 32.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1066MHz (15-15-15-36)
    • Micro-Star International Co. Ltd X370 GAMING PRO CARBON (MS-7A32) (AM4)
    • 3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (MSI)

  3. Help Needed: Microphone Levels Dropping in Zoom and Google Meet

    Thank you very much for reaching out! As an Independent Advisor and fellow Microsoft user, I'm more than happy to assist you.

    Would you mind giving these steps a try and then informing me of the outcome?

    Disable Exclusive Control

    Ensure that no applications are taking exclusive control of your microphone:

    • Go to Settings > System > Sound.
    • Under Input, select your microphone and click on Device properties.
    • Click on Additional device properties.
    • Go to the Advanced tab and uncheck Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device.
    • Click Apply and OK.
    Adjust Communication Settings

    Windows might be adjusting your microphone levels due to communication activity:

    • Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar and select Sounds.
    • Go to the Communications tab.
    • Select Do nothing under When Windows detects communication activity.
    • Click Apply and OK.
    Run Troubleshooters

    Run the built-in troubleshooters to identify and fix any issues:

    • Open Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
    • Run the Recording Audio troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Check Application-Specific Settings

    Ensure that Zoom and Google Meet are not set to automatically adjust your microphone volume:

    • Zoom: Go to Settings > Audio and uncheck Automatically adjust microphone volume.
    • Google Meet: Unfortunately, Google Meet does not have a built-in setting to disable automatic gain control. However, you can use browser extensions like "Disable Automatic Gain Control" to manage this.
    Update Drivers

    Make sure your microphone drivers are up to date:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
    • Right-click your microphone and select Update driver.

    Please feel free to reach out if you require any additional assistance. I'm here to help!

    Laptop Microphone is not working on Google Meets

    Integrated laptop webcam works with Zoom but not Google Meet

    I have a Lenovo Flex 5 1870.

    Both Zoom and Google Meet used to work with this laptop.

    Recently, Zoom stopped working and I was in a rush and so I followed various troubleshooting steps. That asked for uninstalling my camera in Device Manager and re-scanning for hardware changes.

    Previously my webcam used to show up in Device Manager under Imaging Devices and it was some kind of generic USB camera.

    Now it shows up as EasyCamera under Cameras in Device Manager. I think the hardware is from RealTek.

    Zoom works fine now.

    The Windows "Camera" app works as well.

    However, Google Meet says "No camera found" and the dialog box to select a camera is disabled.

    Any suggestions on how I can reinstall a generic camera driver under Imaging Devices in addition to the already installed EasyCamera?
