Mic volume drops to about 50% when playing Warzone

I've been streaming Warzone off and on since May 2020 and have never had an audio issue until last week. When I am not in Warzone, my MIC audio is registering around -20dB, but as soon as Warzone is the in-focus window, the MIC mixer is showing the volume only hitting -45 to -40dB. This only seems to be happening when I play Warzone, so I'm not convinced it's an OBS issue, but it didn't start happening until I updated to the latest OBS release this past week, so who knows... It also is happening 9 out of 10 times I play warzone, so it's a little inconsistent, but usually if I flip back and forth between warzone and something else, I can get it to exhibit this behavior quickly.

I currently have Game/Desktop sounds on a separate channel from my Mic.

I'm curious if anyone else has run into something like this or has thoughts on where I could look for answers. I've confirmed I have disabled Windows audio ducking at the Audio Settings level and there is no ducking set up on individual audio channels. I'm just not sure where to look next.

FYI: I tried to upload a short recording from OBS showing the drop in sound that corresponds with the attached log file, but it's too big to include here.
