Microphone auto muting and the levels go down to zero

Anonymous

Hello all.

I have come upon a recent issue with my computer. My microphone automutes itself , and the levels go down to zero as well. Even if I manually adjust levels to 100 and unmute it resets and automutes again after a short time ( less than a minute ). I have not updated drivers but I cannot see them being the issue because I had zero issues yesterday why would the problem begin today I did not update or install any new programs. I have tried another mic plugged in through the standard jack and it does the same thing. My mic is a logitech webcam USB. Any suggestions? I cant seem to find any solutions on the web other than the obvious " Oh unmute it" .

I feel this is a windows 7 issue and this is why I have come here.

Can we please have a fix for windows 7? I don't have a svchost.exe file in my task manager. I'm running a Dell computer, if that helps.

Your video is for Windows 10. Dean Guitars above has Windows 7, and so do I. We need a fix for Windows 7. I don't have the svchost.exe on Windows 7. This is a windows issue, and you people need to fix this.
