Windows 10: Microphone fades in and out

Hi,
I suddenly got this weird issue with my microphone, it fades in and out all the time.
I have tried different microphones and all of them have the same issue.
I had this once before and fixed it some how by putting in a new microphone and pulling it out put this time it doesn't work
I tried updating my audio drivers but that doesn't work either.
I hope someone could help me.

:)
