Windows 10: Microphone level is set to 0?

Hello,
I have a headset that has served me faithfully for five years.
Until now I never had any problems, but today some people came up and said I was ultra quiet.
After that I came to the level setting in the sound device tab under Windows.
I just set the level to 100 (it was 0 before).
I tested my voice via discord and sounded much louder than 0.
Until then everything was fine.
Afterwards I plugged the headset out (USB) and in again.
The level had automatically gone back to 0.
Now my problem is that the level setting always goes back to 0 as soon as I unplug the headset or plug it in again.
What is the reason for this? How can I save the level setting to 100?
Or maybe you have another idea how to solve this problem?

:)

 

Windows 10 microphone level setting

The microphone level setting on my Windows 10 keeps resetting to -19.3 dB.

I move it to near 0 dB but it keeps resetting.

How do I make it a permanent setting at or near to 0 dB?
