2013 HELP:: Mystery Microphone Mic on when I didn't click the button

Mic on when I didn't click the button
-

" My microphone comes on without me clicking the button."  

-

Common reason:  You are clicking a hot key.  In preferences, Sound and Media, near the other mic adjustments, there is a place to set your hot key to turn on your mic or toggle it.  If set to toggle, clicking on the hot key will turn on the mic and leave it on till you click the hot key again.
