Windows 10: Mic volume changed after restarting computer?

My mic volume was normal and loud before restarting my computer(normally I just shut it down), now it has static noise and the volume is very quiet

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.

 

Computer Won't Use Headphone Mic

I did all the steps you told me to. I changed the mic to my headset mic and restarted my computer. I used an online mic tester and spoke into the mic. All I heard was static. I changed to my internal(built-in) mic and I heard my voice clearly. Is there any other way to fix my mic issue?

 

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.
