How to disable noise suppression when an application is using the microphone.

I realize this is a year after your post. I am very frustrated. My voice can be heard but not my guitar. This happens on Skype and Zoom. I have turned off noise suppression. Still has the problem. Nothing like this happened on Windows 10. Now that I have Windows 11...... It's driving me nuts. Did you find a solution?

Hi,

Thanks so much to all who have shared on this post.

It greatly helped me and my community (the piano sound had been suppressed on a Windows 11, HP Envy) .

I created a resource summarising the workarounds listed on this forum for my community - feel free to share if it's helpful.

So I'm just gonna share the solution I've done after doing all the solutions here and still not working. Just uninstall the audio software and done. In my case it is the Realtek Audio Console in Acer, after I remove it everything is working properly now.

I have the exact same problem, with a Dell laptop unit, and I have spent HOURS with both Dell support and Microsoft and Nothing!!!! I do has any impact on the suppression. This has to be the most lame software modification ever! You have ruined the microphone as as an input device, this stupid inane addition was not in Wndows10. It changes even the voice, and it will not let the first note of a piano past the suppression. Gad this is frustrating. Yes I have turned everything to off, the so called enhancement is off, but STILL the suppression is active. I will try again with support. Maybe the next person will know the problem and the solution. HOURS on the on line chat and Dell support. Nothing!!!!!! Fix it with an upgrade.

Thanks for your effort but no I have tried all the above and no magic change has solved this insane issue. These so called enhancements ruin the quality of the recording. Still searching. There has to be a solution.
