    System Sounds / other apps automatically lowering my music volume


    Basically when I listen to music through foobar2000, winamp, any audio player, windows sort of regulates my volume if any other program makes a sound. System sound rings? Music volume lowers. Watching a video on youtube or any other service, music volume lowers, playing a game? Music lowers.

    This problem has persisted through 2 entirely new computers, the only thing remaining consistent is my AV receiver. 2 different brand video cards as well (monitor is hooked into receiver hdmi out, and then video card goes into receiver hdmi input) so both AMD and Nvidia have done this to me so far. I don't recalled if this was an issue before the receiver, it's been way too long.

    It was also like this in W7 and now W10.

    I find it weird that this isn't a problem when I use headphones. Only my receiver. I've never had this happen with any other component though (blu ray player, ps4, xbox1 , 360, etc). I've also listened to music on those devices and played a game or w/e and it doesn't happen.

    It really seems like a windows issue or driver problem, I don't understand how it can't be fixed.

    Usually these are the go to things -

    The BenQ is the monitor connecting to the receiver, other is my headset.
    So I figured I'd ask for help here, there's entire articles dedicated to selecting "Do Nothing" in the Sound Communications tab to stop this problem. Getting tired of reading them.

    Thanks!

    Volume decreases on Groove music when the app is minimized during Skype call in Windows 10

    Original Title: Lowering of Volume of Music during Skype Calls

    Currently using windows 10, did not have this problem before. I'm using the Groove app on windows 10 to play my music right now, and when I'm in a skype call, it only lowers the volume when I minimize the Groove window. I've tried the remedy of going to
    sounds --> communications and selecting "Do nothing" but for some reason, it still lowers the volume substantially whenever I minimize Groove. Interestingly enough, if I select lower by 50%, there's less of a change in volume than if I select "Do nothing".
    Is this some bug in a new update or something? Or is there some other option I can tinker with?

    Windows 10 notification sound volume (Adjust)

    lowering the system sound volume does not lower the notification volume! It should, but it doesn't.
