Windows 10: Windows automatically lowering my microphone volume.

As the title says. Windows is for some reason lowering my microphone input volume. I have no idea when this error started to occur but it's super annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this?

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?

 

Microphone Volume Automatically Lowering Itself

Hi,

There are a lot of possible factors for this matter to occur. To isolate the issue, we have some questions for you:

• 
  What are the changes made before the issue occurred?
  
• 
  Have you tried using
  another microphone to check if the issue will persists (if you are using an external microphone)?
  
• 
  Have you tried to download and install the latest driver update available on your manufacturer's website?
  
• 
  Aside from what you have mentioned, what other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
  

We recommend that you run the
Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
and perform a
clean boot. It is possible that the issue was caused by the running applications
on your computer's background. To run the troubleshooter, kindly follow these steps:

• 
  On the search bar, type
  Troubleshooting
  and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  Choose
  Hardware and Sound.
  
• 
  Click on
  Hardware and Devices
  to run the
  troubleshooter.
  
• 
  After running
  Hardware and Devices
  troubleshooter, also run the
  Playing Audio
  troubleshooter.
  

To know how to perform
clean boot, kindly click
here.

Note:
Reset the computer back to
Normal Mode
once you are done with the troubleshooting by following the section
"How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
from the same article

We'll be waiting for your response.

Regards.

 

Microphone lowering volume

Well I had some glitches going to update 1909 so I had to reset the computer. Everythings good now except for my microphone.

I was talking to some friends in discord and they were telling me that my voice kept lowering until they wouldn't hear me anymore. We all had this 'glitch' before and we knew how to fix this. So I went into the microphone properties and I taken the ''Allow
applications to take exclusive control of this device'' which was the cause to this.

The thing is ... my voice keeps lowering and lowering until it gets cut off, after cutting off my voice gets back to normal until it starts lowering again.

Can someone tell me what's causing this? My drivers are up to date and my microphone is allowed to any application too.
