Change your audio device seemingly at random.

I feel like any time I get a Teams call, my Windows audio goblin rolls a d20 to determine which combination of devices will be used.

And what volume your outgoing mic is at. After the pandemic, I'm numb to telling people over voice chat that they're too quiet and should check the "levels" (in the hidden sound device menu) to see if windows conveniently set it to 5%.

Sometimes it would do this to people in real time while we're talking. One friend couldn't figure out why it was happening and just wrote a script to constantly set it back to 100%.
