So Windows 10 appears to have introduced some form of native system-level microphone/line input automatic adjustment that programs that can be hooked into which is causing me to sound like a whisper via my Condenser mic in some applications and I would love to find a way to disable it so that I can control input adjustment myself. Does anyone know how to do this as searching around is not giving me any viable results.
Things of note;
Does anyone know how I can possibly disable this feature at a system-wide level? I'll even take some powershell/CLI convoluted trickery, I just want to be able to use my setup like I had previously in Windows 7.

Things of note;
- This is only happening on certain applications, such as Firefox, the Discord desktop app and Skype (with exception I'll note below).
- All my USB headset mics seem to be fine
- This is happening only on my condenser mic via 3.5mm
- It's happening across two distinct sound hardwares (a dedicated audio card and the onboard motherboard audio), implying this is not a driver/hardware issue (they are two completely different chipsets but yes they have been updated regardless).
- Audio-relative software (OBS, Adobe Audition, 3rd party mixers like Voicemeeter Banana) all take my input fine, I effectively sound normal when using any of these to record locally, playback my mic directly or even stream on twitch.
- It seems to be explicitly limited to software that uses/hooks into whatever windows natively provides for input auto adjustment. And the main reason I've come to the conclusion it's something windows-provided is because Skype only does this when I enable it's "Automatic adjustment" in it's settings. If I disable that setting I sound perfectly fine as I should. With Skype and Microsoft being pretty heavily windows-integrated these days, particularly in Windows 10 it gives me a heavy feeling that it's likely a native windows feature that Skype is hooking into, and the above mixed-software outcomes back it up imo.
