If you do know how to post code on here, feel free to paste it for anyone else who is having this problemġ Type in "microphone" in the Start menu in Windows 8 and click where it says "Settings."Ģ Select the "Manage Audio Devices" option that has a speaker icon in the top left corner of the screen.ģ Click on the "Recording" tab in the Sound window that appears.Ĥ Select the microphone that you want to change to in the Recording tab. Yeah, I'm not a programmer and am not sure how to post code here & don't see attachment options, so I'll just link you to my Google Hangouts Support forum post where I put the AHK script. Greater explanation for everything is contained within the script, as is the link to the soundcard analysis script referenced there ( ). I'm only running it while on Hangout calls, if you wanted to run it all the time, you'd probably want to increase the sleep interval. Either way, running this script should work constantly refresh the microphone to your desired volume level.
Skype also does this by default, but has an option to not auto adjust the mic levels. It auto adjusts mic volume during calls and doesn't set it back. The root cause of the problem for me was Google Hangouts. JeffC, please note that I have the volume set at 100 here, but since your microphone is too high, you'd obviously want to change that number to a lower, acceptable volume. A more thorough explanation is contained within the script itself. In short, the script sets the Mic volume level to a level specified, waits a half second, then loops indefinitely.
However, you'll have to modify it with the appropriate DeviceNumber, which will vary system to system.
I made a script in AutoHotKey that works.
