Cortana changes Mic volume to 100%

I agree! On mine, it changes the volume from 100% to 34% and i have to manually change it back after using Cortana.

There is a catch though... If this is added as a feature of Cortana, I think the changes in Mic volume from within Cortana should only affect Cortana.

For example:

User changes volume of the mic in Cortana to 85%, but has it set to 100% in system volume settings.

When the user says "Hey Cortana!" Cortana would change the mic volume to 85% while she's listening, then change it back to 100% when she's not listening.

 

USB Mic Problems.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

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?
