FixHow to fix Windows keeps adjusting input device volume automatically
Windows has no switch of its own that lowers your microphone while you talk. The level is usually moved by a call app's automatic gain, by an app that took exclusive control, or by the headset's driver when you plug it in. Find out who moves the slider first, then turn that one off.
