    Hi Matt,

    In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Have you installed all the pending Windows updates?

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Run the Troubleshoot Hardware and Devices.

    Hardware troubleshooter reviews, diagnose and identifies operational or technical problems within a hardware device.

    • Press Windows Key +R, type Control Panel.
    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar, click on troubleshooting.
    • Click on Hardware and Devices.
    • Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

    Method 2: to determine whether the issue is related to microphone, I suggest you to connect the microphone to different computer and also connect the different microphone to your computer, check whether the issue persist
    or not.

    Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.
