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.

I always love it when I see a reply from one of you so-called "experts". Most of what you people write, my grandmother could do in her sleep. You'd be better off not even writing anything; for it RARELY EVER is the solution. I've been on these forums for quite some time now and NOT ONCE, and I shall repeat, NOT ONCE have I ever gotten an answer. In fact, one of you so-called "experts" didn't even know the difference between "restore down" and minimize", and when the guy tried to pick a fight with me about it, I just basically asked him how he could expect to help me if he didn't even know his mouth from a hole in the ground! So MOST of the time I resort to having to figure things out myself. Thanks to Jesus giving me an ability to solve things. Microsnot (eh-hem, I mean microsoft) certainly isn't going to be of any help in any case.

Sadly, there are very FEW people any more that even have a lick of sense when it comes to computers. You so-called "experts" have "basic" information, and any time someone has a problem, you're like a five year old who has just learned how to add; trying to tell a calculus professor how to solve an equation. So that's ALL you know how to recommend, and IF it doesn't work, then it "mustn't be a microsoft problem"; or you'll just ignore any future replies on that thread. I know, as I have dealt with you people for quite some time.

Such a pitiful and sorry lot microsnot (eh-hem, I mean microsoft) has become.

May Jesus have mercy on businesses like this for their poor so-called "professionalism's" and "corporate sins".

IT doesnt work techRaj... There are like 15 to 20 svchost.exe files and they are recreating while deleting them and sometimes system encountering error and need to restart computer....

I have tried your process multiple times but no use...

Is this problem related to laptop or windows 10? I see it in dell audio tab so my version was issue in laptop s/w ...what is your version?

Thank you in advance
