Windows 10: Low mic volume

I have a new computer that was shipped with windows 10. The microphone worked well in windows 10, but once I updated it to windows 11 it could only pick up 6% sound and I can't be heard in meetings anymore. This is apparently a very common and persistent problem as I see people with the same question all over the internet. I have tried every setting adjustment possible and nothing has worked. I will note that I did find the solution a while ago and it was in a very obscure place might have been registry edit and I had to go through many sub menus to get there. I was having application proble

Low input volume on an external mic'

For the last few weeks I have been useing an external mic' to make voice recordings. Everytnig has been fine.

Last night, I finished, closed down, changed nothing. This morning,. the inpout volume of the external mic is about 80% less than yersterday. Why ?

I have sp[ent the l;ast two hours going through every possible setting I can find and everything is on "max" or 100%. The trouble shooter us useless and says "no problem found". It is not an issue with the external mic'. I have tried the same with a second
mic' and the same 80% low volume issue is still there.

It simply feels like triggering an external mic' somehow triggers an 80% lowering of the volume.

The built in mic' volume is fine, but the quality is terrible, hence the external mic'.

I suspect this is a Windows SaaS issue and is part of the reason why so called "free" stuff, like Windows, managed by MS as SaaS is shocking. I don't want MS buggering around with my laptop. I have wasted a half day so far on this issue, which should not
be an issue.

Does anybody have a fix ? Please don't ask about updated drivers, or faulty hardware etc, I've checked all this. I have not changed anything between last night and this morning.

 

Adjusting Mic Volume for different programs

Trying to figure this out here. My mic volume has been fine in TS or Skype. But I recently picked up Dxtory and my mic is quiet in there. I have mic volume set to 100 and no Mic boost. I'd rather not use boost, but today I tried it out and it worked fine. Then I realized Dxtory is connected directly to the volume for your mic in Windows. Which is no problem I figured I would just drop down TS and Skypes outbound volume and be fine. Well Skype that works fine with, but it seems I can't in TS. So I'm stuck with 2 programs (TS and Dxtory), both tied to Windows Sound Settings, but one picks up my voice fine and the other picks it up low. I can't think of a way around it, any ideas here?
