audio auto gain control

I set AGC on for an attached USB microphone and save setting.  I return to AGC to verify it is enabled.  When I check later, I sometimes find that the 'on' setting has been spontaneously disabled. This requires me to check the setting prior to every use of the microphone. I have found it to get disabled even during a continuous use session.  How to keep it permanently on unless I disable it?

    2. Select Hardware and Sound.
    3. Click Sound.
    4. Go to Recording tab.
    5. Right-click your Microphone, then click Properties.
    6. Go to Advanced tab.
    7. Uncheck the Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device.
