    Sounds from other applications are muted for the first few seconds when i'm playing a game.


    Hello,Recently I've experienced an issue where the sound from applications takes a while to 'activate' when I'm playing a game. For example when I press my toggle mute button for discord which is running in the background, I dont hear the sound notification of me muting myself for the first few seconds. The same happens with my browser when I'm trying to play a video. The first 1-2 seconds of the video is muted and then the sound kicks in.I'm on a windows 11 pro desktop computer.Any possible solutions to this?Thanks in advance,Luuk

    :)
