Windows 10: Windows 10 Game DVR: Microphone is way too quiet

I'm trying to record myself playing a game, but my voice is just way too quiet for some reason. When the game's audio isn't recording, my voice can be heard, but when the game is recorded, my mic gets way quieter and straight-up inaudible at some points. I have the microphone volume in Game DVR set to 100 and the game to 10, mic is still super quiet. I've boosted my microphone all the way up in the control panel to no avail. This is so strange and so infuriating! Can you guys offer any help or advice?

Windows 10 Pro Game DVR not recording Microphone

It used to work than some Microsoft updates later it stopped working. I don't often try to record my microphone so I am not sure when.

I have verified my Windows 10 Game DVR Settings

• Record audio when I record a game: On
  
• Turn mic on by default when I record: Checked
  
• Record game audio only: Off
  
• Recorded Video: 60 fps
  
• Video quality: High
  
• Capture mouse cursor in recordings: Checked
  

Additionally, I checked the Microphone Privacy Settings

• Allow apps to access your microphone: On
  
• Choose which apps can access your microphone: All On except Cortana and Win32WebViewHost (default settings). I tried turning these on but didn't help.
  

In case it matters, I am using Sony PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset (PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset - Uncharted 4 Limited Edition:Amazon:Video Games). I know the Microphone is working because people I am playing with can hear me just fine. The only issue is Game DVR isn't recording my voice when it is recording both game audio and other player voices.

Any help resolving this would be appreciated. Thanks
