audiomicrophoneskypewindows 7
My friend on Skype constantly has his microphone volume increased automatically. After he says something in a loud voice the microphone goes back to normal. This also happens on RaidCall.
It seems this problem is activated when he says something "whispering".
Using different headsets did not solve the problem, so we believe this is some software related problem.
Any idea what is causing it?

Just found a solution for this:
First, Close your browser or any other programs that are using your microphone.
Open Regedit Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk Plugin]
In this section it should have a string value named "audio-flags" with a value of 3
Change this value to one so it reads like "audio-flags"="1" or as seen below in the picture.
Once you've done all this you can open your browser and launch googletalk/hangouts. I've noticed that if I ever open the hangouts settings tab to adjust any settings it does reset this setting. So be prepared to do it over again if you do that (and subsequently reset your browser).
I have confirmed this does work.

What's causing it is that the option to allow programs control over the device is set as active. To disable this there are two steps. A windows step and a Skype step. You will also want to check any others (like teamspeak and the like) that also have auto adjust options.
On the Windows side:
