USB Microphone not Source in Scenes but Picks up Sound in All Scenes--How to turn off?

I have a USB microphone. I added a scene with just a media file (mp4). When I start the media playing (even before I start) the USB microphone is hot (on). I can't find a way to mute it or turn it off. I hear my microphone over the top of the media file. I use this straight and running to Zoom with virtual cables--can't turn it off either way.

1. Why is the microphone hot (on) if it is not added to the scene as a source? (Global Audio Devices all set to Disabled)

2. As the microphone is "hidden" there is now way I can find to adjust properties/settings for this source

3. Is there a Windows 10 setting that I am missting?

Thank you.
