DCS/System Audio Lowering when VoIP is Active

[Scroll_Tro0L]

Anytime I enter a voice-enabled server with my VoIP setting enabled, all of my audio including DCS becomes much lower. I have the Windows option for communication apps lowering all other sounds disabled.

Also having this issue. It seems to be related to the "Voice Chat Output" setting. When set to another audio device not being used, the volumes remain where they should be (but since its an unused/non active device, you can no longer hear broadcasts over the new VOX Radio)

I disabled the voice chat in settings and now the problem for me has gone.

But then we can't use the Radio VOX

For now, only time is needed... I can't say anything about the timing.

Same problem here. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Yep same issue here. Spent a few days banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why any audio outside of DCS (Browser, SRS) was really low despite volume being at 100%. When I disabled voice chat in the settings this stopped happening, when I re-enabled ingame voice chat it came back, really annoying bug especially when you want to crank up some tunes when your flying or trying to listen to people on SRS.

If its ED maybe 2 week or 2 years

I may have found the solution, setting windows communications activity to "do nothing" may be only step one. I had to go in audio settings ingame and switch through all audio outputs and after that back to standard again (i also switched through all my headset and mic options and after that back to the device i'm actually using). Now i can hear discord at the same level again, like before enabling voice chat in the settings. However, i couldn't test voice chat on a server, because now i can't bring up the voice chat window in cockpit. Lctrl+Lshift+tab doesn't do anything and button bindings are all greyed out... :(

The latest OB update is supposed to fix this issue for good. Can you please confirm it did?
