Windows 10: Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset mutes the mic and sound when the mic is raised

Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset mutes the mic and sound when the mic is raised. When looking at the playback option in the sound settings, I see the volume plays, the green bars light up, but won't hear the sound if the mic is raised. When the mic is lowered I can hear it. When looking at the recording option, when I raise the mic up and down I see the recording volume gets mute and then unmuted. So for some reason when the recording volume is muted the headset won't hear the sound.Any advice?

Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset mutes the mic and sound when I raise the mic.

My Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset mutes the mic and sound when I raise the mic. How do I get it to only mute the mic and allow the sound to still come through?

I downloaded the Microsoft Accessory Center but that option isn't in the settings.

 

Muted mic picking up sound in game

You misunderstood. The Mic does mute. Not a defect. This problem just started. Been using headset for over a year. One of the mics is picking up the sound from my headset when my mic is muted. Thus just started thus week...

 

Headset muting audio on receiving Mic input

I actually had this issue with my old headset and thought it was just the headset, but this one worked just fine, I was changing some sound settings to fix some audio lag I was getting, now this headset
does the exact thing the old one did. I can't remember exactly what I changed, but it's weird, it only mutes audio when receiving mic input. I tested it with audacity while listening to music, if I press the record button it mutes my headphones to receive
mic input.

Does anybody know how to fix this? I spent like 60$ on this headset because I thought the issue was the headset! It worked just fine a few days ago, I made phone calls with it. Now it mutes on mic input,
so it kinda defeats the purpose of the headset. I can't make calls or play games because it mutes audio on input.
