  1. Application Sound muffling/lowering when other applications are playing audio.


    When my audio is lowered, in sound mixer, it doesn't say the application nor the system volume is lower, however I can clearly tell it is being muffled/lowered. This happens pretty much every time there are 2 applications giving out audio. This is a relatively new thing that has been happening to me. It started like 2 weeks ago and even after updating to windows 11, it still happens. I've tried many things like turn off the "When Windows detects communications activity" setting inside of mmsys.cpl. I've done a bunch of different methods that I saw online but none of them work. This happens wit

  2. No sound while playing audio and video files.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    • Which is the application that you are using to play the files?
    • Did you try the same on a different player?
    • Did you perform any troubleshooting steps?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

    • Right click on sound icon.
    • Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.
    If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to run “Playing audio” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

    Follow these Steps to run Playing Audio Troubleshooter in Windows 10.

    1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

    2. Select Troubleshooting.

    3. Select View all on the top left corner.

    4. Click on Playing audio.

    Muffled Sound

    Hello,

    When I open more than one app the sound becomes muffled; for example, I'm listening to music and it sounds normal, but if I open a videogame the sound becomes muffled.

    The audio driver is Conexant SmartAudioHD

    Also, my headphones don't appear in the sound devices.

    Does anyone know any solution?

    Hi Guys,

    I have created one animation with few frames and the i have adjusted the movement of those frames as per audio bit which I had connected to my ears while making that animation. but now I want to sync that animation video with audio file. I did that with virtual dub software as well but somewhere in video the frames left behind the audio.

    Please give me proper suggestion of application which can do that.

    Thanks
    micheal.
