Mic Audio Lowers and Degrades When Tabbed into Elden Ring

[Leo730]

Hello, looking for help on solving this annoying Mic issue. When I am tabbed into Elden Ring, the mic levels and quality take a significant dip. If I am tabbed to the OBS window, the mic goes back to normal. Elden Ring is the only game that causes this. I play it in borderless window and if I click onto the OBS window, Elden Ring won't read my inputs so that solution doesn't work.

I've tried everything including various mic settings like unchecking allowing apps to take control. Ultimately, I can fix the audio levels in post, but I can't fix the quality loss. It just sounds much better when I'm tabbed on the OBS window. The mic is a Blue Yeti. What's odd is that the game audio remains unchanged no matter which window I'm tabbed on. This only affects the mic. Any advice welcomed. Thanks!

I made an account just to say this: I FOUND A CULPRIT! Really excited to share, if you have Logitech G as a program, try turning it off! Cleaned up my mic instantly. I noticed while using VM potato that it was the input getting fed into even it, so I took another step back and found it in the logitech application. It seems to not play nice with ER.
