Microphone volume decreases/turns off after a few seconds of talking *SOLVED*

My friends told me that my microphone lowers my volume after a few seconds of talking, so I checked it out myself. What happens is pretty much what they said, the mic volume will quickly lower itself after a few seconds of talking and sound quite weird, then shut off entirely.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

I uploaded a sound file here so that you guys can hear exactly how it sounds.

Edit: Should probably add that it happens with any microphone.

Hi. It is already set to "Do nothing". I am using skype to talk to my friends, but I used the Sound Recorder program in Windows to record the voice sample in my OP.

Edit: I solved the problem! It had to do with the noise reduction. I just turned it off and now things are fine, although a bit noisy.
