This whole process is quite a long and obnoxious, but not many know why this happens when you start Counter-Strike.

It might be that it overrides the microphone settings from the system, and instead places its own values and settings.

Valve haven’t yet found a fix for this one, probably from the lack of trying. We can speculate that they feel as though this is not that big of an issue, so they don’t bother.

However, we can’t speak on their part, this issue might be more complex to solve under the surface. Whatever it is, you must fix it like this for now, as there are no other ways to do it.
