I have an issue with my headset mic which seems to stop receiving input randomly, or may not so. This happens both in Discord and Steam voice chat.

I've noticed that this happens whenever I host something, practical example:
I am currently playing Valheim and Warframe. In Warframe, whenever I am squad leader and have people invited to my squad and I am in a voice channel or direct call, my mic starts cutting off then turns off. If I rejoin the call / voice channel it works briefly and then stops again.
Same with Valhaim if I am hosting a game and this did happen in Deep Rock Galactic, again when I was hosting.

NB: In these cases, discord does not show a warning that there's no audio input detected, which is something I've enabled.

The headset that I am using: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gam...und-wired-gaming-headset-carbon-ca-9011270-na
What I've done on my end to try and remedy this problem:
  • Uninstall Discord using Revo Uninstaller in order to remove all residual files and install, start as Admin.
  • Reset Voice & Video settings on Discord (since that's what I am using mostly), set the input and output to the respective options related to my headset.
  • In Discord: Set Input mode to Voice Activity, enabled Hardware Acceleration.
  • Uninstall and re-install audio drivers. Uninstall and re-install the iCUE software.
  • Mic boost is set to max in the iCUE software. The nVIDIA broadcast technologies software is installed, on that the Noise Removal only is enabled. Mic volume is set to max.
  • Swap around the USB ports of my headset.
  • Allowed Desktop Apps to get access to my Microphone through the Windows settings.
  • Set my power plan to Ultimate Performance( I am on a Desktop). Disable USB selective suspending through the power plan options. Set the minimum processor state to 100%.
  • Enable the 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device' option through the Microphone properties.
I have sort of decent internet connection and am willing to think it's not related to bad or slow connection.
Speed test: Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

I do think it might be a port issue, but I am bad with ports. I know how to redirect them, but don't know which ports to redirect.
I am running out of ideas on what to do now and that is why I am turning to this community for help.

Thank you in advance!

I'm having the same issue as well. Seems to be something wrong with Windows...
