Not an option on my mic, I have to manually set it back to 100%. Really frustrating seeing this being a bug for 2+ years. Kinda confirms that Ubisoft's reputation isn't changing, still bad with bugs.I fixed it by setting microphone level on 50% on Realtek application and making a Microphone boost +30 dB.
I'll just go ahead and necro this post.
This **** is still going on, and now it's in For Honor. I've turned off all options that "automatically adjusts voluime" both in Uplay and in Windows.
As soon as I get invited to a group or get some kind of error within the game my mic volume boosts to 100% and I blow my friends eardrums out. If I cause someone tinnitus you are taking the blame Ubisoft. Because you haven't bothered to fix this for at least 3 years. What the actual **** is going on in your bug department ?
Pissed off regards - Annoyed customer.
Had the issue with my mic levels changing when playing for honor. My mic would drop to 0 in my sound settings every time I got an invite. I noticed that the issues started after I had changed my mic levels ingame. So it seems to me that for some reason when you use the Uplay overlay it syncs your system sound levels with the sound levels for the game you are playing. I changed my mic levels ingame to 100 and now my mic levels don't change anymore when I use the Uplay overlay to accept invites etc. So I would guess that for people experiencing a rise in mic levels try lowering your ingame mic levels to match what you want your system levels to be.
Hope this workaround works for you guys as well. No clue why Ubisoft have not fixed this issue that seems to have been around since 2014. Kind of sad.
I had read this thread and noticed everyone that mention the realtek drivers. Just a thought, I have Logitech G930 Headset and have not run into that problem *knocks on wood* I do not know if you guys are using headset or standalone mic but, did you update that driver as well? It is a easy driver to forget about. Like I said, just a thought.
check out this video by Trainloaf. He explains that you can fix this by editing the options.ini. Be aware that whatever you set this to the game will adjust your mic to that number.

Still have this problem in Far Cry 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands
Mic level keeps resetting to 0 and nothing anyone has posted helps (Apart from workarounds that require you to alt-tab, but I don't want that)
Please fix... it's been almost 5 years since the first person reported this and it annoys me to hell and back (O_O)
Hey guys, please try these steps for this issue. Let me know how it goes.
