Limit microphone access

How do I limit an app's access to my microphone if that app is not even on the list of apps that are allowed to use the microphone but uses it anyway?

 

Headset/Microphone background reduction; suggestions

There's a solution to this out there, but I cannot pinpoint the right search terminology to get accurate results.


When I speak into my microphone, whatever sound is being sent into my headphones, is also directly sent to the microphone and outputted upon transmit.

This means that it's not a case of the sound coming out of the headphones, then travelling to the microphone, it's actually going straight to the microphone instead.

All I've come up with so far, is a suggestion to mute the microphone input via Windows. Though that seems to render the microphone useless.

 

Microphone

Hi ClashRoyale6789.

I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

Check the microphone privacy settings.

1. Press "Windows + I" and select "Privacy & security > Microphone";

2. Make sure "Microphone access" is turned on;

3. Look for affected apps and see if the microphone access is allowed;

(These apps will only be on the list if they were installed using the Microsoft Store. If they were not installed using the Microsoft Store, see step 4)

4. At the end of the list, see if "Let desktop apps access your microphone" is turned on.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions.
