Windows 10: microphone sensitivity

How to adjust microphone sensitivity on Windows 10 pro

:)

 

Microphone sensitivity changing by itself

Hi. I tried troubleshooter, but it didn't find anything. I can't disable microphone access for apps, because I use mic very often in many apps - Discord, Teams, OBS, Bandicam, web browsers and sometimes other software. I need mic to be locked at 80, because
it's very important when I am recording something or streaming with OBS.

I was trying to figure out which app is changing sensitivity, but I failed to. I set mic sensitivity at 80 and was using step by step every app, but none of those changed sensitivity. But when I am using PC "normally", I need almost everyday to change sensitivity
back to 80.

 

Microphone Sensitivity to low, USB headset

Is there a way to separate headset volume and microphone sensitivity?

USB headset when turning down the listening volume on earpiece, the master volume goes down and the microphone sensitivity also goes down.

When adjusting the microphone sensitivity up it turns the master volume up and the earpiece volume goes up.

Either people can't hear you or the volume is dangerously high.
