Windows 10: Audio fades out and then comes back if I adjust volume

I am running Windows 11 Pro on a computer with an MSI motherboard and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER graphics card. I have 2 monitors connected via HDMI, with audio running out of one monitor to a soundbar. My phone system is through Zoom, and I use both a headset and camera with built in microphone for meetings and calls.Any time I am playing audio - whether streaming through Spotify or playing directly off my computer via iTunes - the sound will fade out intermittently. If I adjust the volume, the sound will come back. If I don't, the sound may come back after 20 seconds, 2 minutes or 5 h

Add Fade Audio Effects In Video Clips.

Hi Gustav,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

If you are using Microsoft Photos application to fade the audio, then there is no feature in Photos application to fade the audio; however, you can fade the audio by using Microsoft PowerPoint Application. Follow the below steps to fade the audio that you
want using Microsoft Photos application.

Step 1: Click on the Start Menu and search for
Microsoft PowerPoint and hit Enter to launch
PowerPoint application.

Step 2: Then, click on Insert > Audio > You can add the audio file as well as directly record an audio file.

Step 3: Click on the Audio and click on
Playback tab beside to Format tab.

Step 4: Then, you will see the Fade In and
Fade Out options.

Fade In: Adds a timed fade effect at the beginning of the audio clip. Within the Fade In box, directly enter the exact number of seconds you want the clip to fade in.

Fade Out: Adds a timed fade effect at the end of the audio clip. Within the Fade Out box, directly enter the exact number of seconds you want the clip to fade out.

The option for fading the audio in Photos Application is a great idea, so I suggest you to post your feedback for the same in

Feedback Hub.

Hope it helps.

Windows 10 audio fades out

I'm having an issue with Windows 10 audio: when listening to something/watching a movie the audio automatically fades out and drops to a lower volume. To be clear, the volume indication in Windows doesn't change, i.e. if it was set to 50 at the beginning it'll remain fixed at 50, but it can be heard drastically decreasing.

If the source is paused and then played back again, the sound will begin playing at the higher volume to fade out again a few seconds later.

Things I've tried so far - suggested by the many post I read about:

• Uninstalling/reinstalling both NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device WDM and Realtek drivers
  
• Using only one driver at a time
  
• Installing older driver versions
  
• Installing the driver in compatibility (W8) mode
  
• Reinstalling the drivers from the PC manufacturer (Dell)
  

None of these worked. Needless to say, it's very frustrating. I must keep the speakers turned off, otherwise notifications will blast out at 100dB unexpectedly whilst listening to music for more than 5 secs will turn the sound into a whisper.

If someone knows of a solution or had this issue before, I'd be so glad to hear about it.

Thanks

 

Using keyboard keys to adjust volume.

Hi,

Currently the only way that I can adjust the volume of my headphones is by using the buttons on the headphones or by adjusting the volume in the software that is playing the audio. When I use the volume keys on my keyboard or adjust the volume in the control
panel, it shows me that the volume is increasing but the volume of the headphones does not increase at all. Does anyone know how to use the volume keys to adjust headphone volume?

I'm also not sure which topic this falls under in the given list so I am sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Thanks.
