i have played around with the settings too, even adjusting the max levels and playing with the compression and the sound filter, what i have found is that sometimes the tweak's makes it too insensitive and other times too sensitive, its a lot of fine tweaking that to me makes it difficult to get the right tuning, often times ill even have to re-tweek as the audio would just suddenly become over sensitive. 

To me, that sounds like your microphone is maybe adjusting itself or that it's sensitive to how close you are to it, perhaps?
