    if I have multiple applications, one has lowered volume?


    Hey all, I recently upgraded to Windows 10 but I've got this weird feature where sometimes if I have more than one application that is using sound open at once, the second application will have it's volume lowered and I can't find a way to restore the proper volume level without closing one of the applications.
    For example, I was watching a video on YouTube, and had a game open at the same time, both were using sound, but the YouTube video was quieter, and I think a bit echoed slightly. As soon as I closed the game application, the YouTube video suddenly raised in volume back to the regular level.
    I looked around the settings on my computer, but I couldn't find anything that would account for this, and it doesn't always happen, so I'm not sure what to do.

    I'm using an Acer laptop, if that helps.

    :)

    Nokia Lumia 520 camera features changes after WP8 update

    I contacted the app developer and they confirmed my suspicions. It's a problem that has started occuring on lower-end lumias after the latest update (and they've received multiple reports). The application has not been updated, only the phone's firmware.

    If I have multiple computers, do I have to download Windows 10 on each computer?

    There will be ISO'S available when win 10 is released on July 29. Download it once and use it to install on all your other devices

    if I have multiple applications, one has lowered volume?

    If you can, go to Control Panel > Sound > Speakers > Properties > Advanced and uncheck: "Allow applications to take exclusive control" and/or "Give exclusive mode applications priority".
