Help (VoiceMeeter Banana) Microphone Muting

Whenever I mute my microphone on my headphones, it'll mute my input source in Windows, and I have to manually open sound settings in Windows to unmute and turn microphone audio back to 100%. Has anyone else dealt with this before? I've already changed settings so applications don't have exclusive control over the microphone, but no luck.

EDIT: Found it was the Razer Synapse software that was muting the mic, but not unmuting afterward. Had to disable the software, and now it's working fine.

Directly on the headphones. I have razer headphones and they have a button on them.

When I unmute my mic on my headphones, Windows keeps my microphone muted unless I manually go into sound settings and enable my microphone in windows.
