Windows 10: Windows is changing sound volume

Ive been trying to solve this problem for over a week now. I have two screens, one for browsing and the other for gaming. Whenever I have a game open open any communication software, streaming or any website with a video, windows changes the game sound volume to below 10%.


Yes, I have changed the setting under sounds -> communication to "do nothing".

I tried to manually adjust the volume when it happens under sound mixer.

I checked the settings of the microphone and deactivated AGC.


Why is this still happening?

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
