Windows 10: Microphone Volume Level Auto-Lowering

When switching between default playback devices, the microphone volume level keeps defaulting to 39. I've turned off "Allow Applications to take exclusive control on this device on both playback devices and also the microphone. I've also set "do nothing" when Windows Detects communications Activity.


This didn't use to happen until recently and it was probably some update but I can't pin which or what did it.


Can someone try this and possibly verify with me?

To replicate open:
Control Panel > Sound > Microphone > Properties > levels
then
Change Default playback device from Taskbar dropdown.

If you can't replicate then it's my device specifically and that's no fun.

Anything else I can try?
