Windows 10: Windows 10 automatically changes Microphone input volume randomly

Ever since a couple days ago my microphone input volume has been randomly automatically set to 2/100 from 100/100 making it impossible for people to hear me on voice. It happens when I load into a game so it makes gaming on discord a pain, since I have to manually change the input volume in device properties multiple times per day now. I havent downloaded anything new manually, although its possible there was a windows update or something. Wondering if anybody else has this issue or knows how to fix. Ive tried going into device properties and allow and disallow applications to take exclusive control of the device and neither option works, so ive set it back to default. Can't figure this out or find anything online similar and would really like some help here. If it helps my microphone is a Cyborg F.R.E.Q.5 gaming headset.

Windows Automatically Increases Microphone Volume


The microphone on the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 is quite loud and sensitive, so I decrease the input volume by 30% in the recording devices menu, but regardless of disallowing access to it from other programs e.g. Skype, it always seems to change back up to 91% after awhile. I'll attach screenshots of the settings I've changed in Skype/recording devices. How would I completely prevent the volume readjusting itself?

 

Windows Automatically Increases Microphone Volume


Worked to resolve the issue myself. I learned running CS:GO maxes your input volume when you launch it, which, to control via console command is 'voice_mixer_volume 0.5' (50% volume) and also set Steam in-game microphone volume so it correlates with Windows' input volume.

 

Microphone input volume settings changes when playing games

Original title: Microphone input volume settings

Hello,

Some games that I play reset the Microphone input volume settings.

This happens every time I start the game during the same session in Windows 10.

I have tried make a profile in the voice settings to prevent this but it hasn't helped.

The path I use is:

Recording devices--->Microphone--->properties----"Levels" tab

The slider resets to 100 every time game is started.
