Backgroun app volume lowered while gaming

When running games in full screen mode Windows 10 lowers the volume of every other application running in the background. Some trouble shooting results:

This is not limited to VOIP apps like skype but also Mozilla, VLC player as well. Tinkering with the communication tab in sound settings does not fix the issue.

This only happens if games are run in full screen mode. Changing focus like alt+tabbing out or placing the music player into focus above the game won't help.

If a playback has started before launching a game, the volume will not change, but if the playback has stopped and started again, while a game is running, the new volume will be reduced.

No volume slider will change position when the volume is lowered. The system sound stays the same, VLC player's stays the same and in volume mixer, found on the tray will stay the same as well.

Closing the game will restore the original volume of all background apps even if they are still playing.

Turning gaming mode on or off will not help.

Since I don't have any other apps that would use full screen like games do, I can't tell if other full screen apps would produce the same result.

Before you give me any of the copy-pasta, all drivers are up to date, all cables are plugged into the right places and it's a clean fresh install, and yes, I've tried restarting.

I was hoping someone could point me to the service that's recognizes/ looks for game launches so I could kill it or disable it but any advice is appreciated.

 

Phone volume and music player volume are somehow interlinked, if i lower the volume of music player it will result in lowering the ringing volume.
