    alt+tab kills my audio output source


    whenever i play my game, my headphoneshd6xx will randomly disappear and switch to my speakerspebbles ive noticed that i can force it when i press alt+tab this is super frustrating and i have no clue how to fix itwhat ive tried: updating my drivers. ive used DDU to remove my audio drivers and reinstalled them on my motherboards support page. my graphic drivers are up to date as well as my bios and sound controllers

    :)

    Computer keeps changing volume/audio sources when alt tabbing

    It's been going on for a while now. whenever I switch to a different application, my audio will either lower/grow or change audio sources or whatever it is. I believe it is audio sources because i compared it and it seems that the audio is the same as when i alt tab as when i change audio sources. I was wondering on how to fix this because it gets really annoying since I alt tab a lot and i just hear a lot of cutting and it just annoys me. Thanks much.

    alt + tab not working

    Just found a really cool way to make alt+tab INSTANT!!!

    In the launch options write the following: -windowed -noborder


    alt+tab kills my audio output source [​IMG]


    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.

    no audio output device installed

    I've tried every step that was suggested, still getting no audio output device installed.
