I did watch his video.

He says that any setting of the mic slider other than 100% is
attenuation.  That is completely incorrect as can be demonstrated
simply by setting the legend to decibels instead of percent.

The only valid "bug" in his report is that Windows 7 and prior
resets the endpoint gain to maximum when the endpoint is opened.
Even that "bug" has been fixed in the Windows 8 driver.
