Sound problem? Windows sounds gets lower randomly?

Recommended Posts

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this question..

 

But sometimes, when I have Discord and music on in Windows (Using Oculus rift), all those sounds gets lower, it can happend like 30 mins in to a flight or right away sometimes when I log in to the game that the Discord and music gets like 40-50% lower. Its like all the program that is opend in windows gets lower volume..

 

Im not sure if this is a DCS thing or a windows setting or what it can be?

 

Its just really enoying.

 

Do any have a clue on what it can be?

Hi

 

do you have some sort of volume levelling activated somewhere?

It is a known issue between Discord (and other apps that control sound volume) and Windows - they are both trying to moderate volume levels and can end up fighting. I use Discord in other games for coop play and have the same issues. Search the Internet for some suggested resolutions (one worked for me for a period) - i am away from my PC at the moment but will try to dig out later

Have now found the settings

 

 

The first is in the Windows Sound Control Panel - on the Communications tab select do nothing (this is Windows helpfully trying to provide automatic attenuation when you make or receive phonecalls)

 

 

The other is to look at your Discord settings and reduce the level of attenuation in the Voice & Video section - I still have this set and have to go and adjust Windows volume levels at random, but some Internet users have said that setting the attenuation level to 0 has removed the issue

 

 

Hope this helps:thumbup:

My pleasure

 

Issue might well still appear randomly but with less frequency

I found the problem for me. Its the in game voice chat that is the problem. When i turn off the ingame voice chat everything works perfect with Discord.

 

It seems to lower the volum maybe 30-40% of the Discord for me when i have in game voice chat activated. Im not sure if its a bug or anything but might be something to look in to..
