Most posts regarding this recommend re-installation of drivers.

Fair enough, Are you using a USB headset or onboard audio ?

Ergo, if usb what headset is it if not what model motherboard

USB headset, Plantronics Gamescom 788 ( not the best just some shitty replacement for my older ones. ) brand new. Had no problems to begin with, so don't think it's a sudden headset problem but IDK. It does have a driver installation though for the surround sound.

could it be the mic mute button or are you actually seeing the software slider go down to the bottom ?

Actually seeing it. it goes all the way down, and mutes up ( X on the mic. ) atm im just leaving the mixer up, tabbing out and putting it back on every few minutes LOL

Sorry for the delay, Considering you have disabled the allow applications, This is a good contender.

i found that Chromes "OK Google" voice search kept adjusting it so i turned it off in chromes setting's and haven't had any trouble since then.

Also worth checking is the following response, But most people don't use it

It was Windows' speech recognition that altered my microphone level. It was based on the last configuration I had made using the microphone.
