Noise Gate
If you notice that your voice drops and is cut off, it is probably due to a configuration problem with the noise gate.
Please follow these steps to check it:
Adjust the volume as previously mentioned:
Then, go to Advanced Settings on the bottom and check if the "Background Noise Reduction" or "Noise Gate" are enabled.
If they are, try disabling them and see how you hear yourself, then you can activate them in steps if you desire to use them, changing the Noise Gate Level to your preference.
And finally, if you have the Enhancements tab inside Microphone Properties, disable all sound effects:

If the problem still persists:
- Go to the "Sounds" menu (right-click on

Click on your microphone and click on "Set Default":
