how come when i play a game my volume goes down automatically to a point where i barely can hear what's going on. Already did the ''playback device- communication- do nothing'' option and it did not work.

    Try this,

    Type mmsys.cpl. Go to communications tab and change setting to Do Nothing.Apply and test it.

    as i mentioned above, i already tried that and it did nothing. A lot of people suggested this solution on the forums but i don't see any other suggestions.

    Yes you did. Sorry about that. Have you tried unchecking these settings. I know Skype will try to control the volume and games probably also have volume settings.Maybe the problem is the computer is letting apps take control.

    I also see that a lot of people are having this problem because of USB mice and keyboards and stuck keys on their keyboards.

    i fixed the problem, it was in game. the game made me join a group voice chat automatically so that's why the volume went down as soon as i logged in. I disabled this automatic function and everthing works fine.

     

    Thanks a lot for your help
