Lots of voice chat programs (Discord, Teams, Zoom, etc.) have automatic adjustments as you speak that will actually change your microphone sound settings. 

 

What program are you using?

Iirc that controls software gain within discord, not windows.

@Itsyoyo
Are you using any software from the manufacturer for your mic? Have you used the "new and improved" Windows 10 audio settings? You can deny every installed software individually access to your microphone and probably also control over its volume.
