Windows 10: svchost.exe running under username that mutes mic

Lately, I bought a usb-microphone. It works fine when I am not in microsoft teams, but when I am in a call in microsoft teams the mic mutes itself. So, I searched about what the issue could be. I found a youtube tutorial that told to deactivate the svchost.exe files running under my username via the command prompt. If I do that my mic works again in microsoft teams, but after a few minutes the svchost.exe running under my username returned and my mic muted itself again. I already did a full scan with MalwareBytes and microsoft teams has the right to use my mic. How can I get rid of these files without hurting my laptop?

SvcHost Virus

Hello Alex,



The real svchost.exe is a legitimate Windows process that performs services for other Windows programs. It's normal to have half a dozen or more of them running at once.
Svchost always runs under one of the three usernames SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE or NETWORK SERVICE. Running under any other username, especially yours or another user's username, could be a symptom of a malware infection.
To isolate the issue, kindly provide us the following information:

• Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• Have you recently modified a software or hardware on your computer?
• Can you tell us the troubleshooting steps that you have done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state and check if there are any software conflicts. To place your computer in a clean boot state, kindly go to this

We’ll be waiting for your response.

 

Muted mic picking up sound in game

Hi JonPaul,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The issue could be because of the internal mic picking up sound even when the external device is pluuged in. If you have the RealTek HD Audi Manager installed on the machine, I would suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for
you.

• Open RealTek HD Audio Manager and go to the
  Advanced tab.
  
• Check the boxes Separate all input jacks as independent input devices
  and Mute the internal output device, when external headphone is plugged in,
  and hit OK.
  
• Exit RealTek HD Audio Manager, restart the machine and see if the issue persists.
  

Regards,
