Bluetooth Speakers - starting up muted in Windows 11

[TheBlueRaja]

Hi All,

  I have some Logitech bluetooth speakers that i use as my main sound output from my Laptop on my desk. Recently, after being fine for literally a few years whenever windows starts up the speakers are always muted by Windows next to the clock.

To resolve i need to just click on the icon and unmute but i need to do this every boot.

Any idea why this could be happening?

For anyone that finds this, the problem was the microphone driver on the laptop was triggering the sounds to go mute on startup even though my Bluetooth speaker is a completely different component.

 If this happens to you, disable your microphone driver to test.
