    How to Disable Auto System Sounds Leveling in Windows 7


       Information
    Windows can automatically adjust the volume level of different sounds when it detect communications activity.

       Note
    It took me a while to find this maybe it will help some one else.

    Basicaly my system volume kept changing on me. I would put it up, and it would go back down. It was making me mad so I started looking to find out why, and this is what i came up with.





    Here's How:
    1. Right click on the Volume icon in the notification area, and click on Sounds.
    A) Go to step 3.
    OR

    2. Go to the sound icon on you desktop and click it you should get a pop up like this below.

    3. Click on the Communications tab, and select (dot) Do nothing.
    NOTE: The default setting is Reduce the volume of other sounds by 80%.

    4. Click on OK.

    5. Now Windows 7 should not be auto leveling your sound anymore.

    I have a problem. This option does not work for me. I have changed the settings to "do nothing" when using for example teamspeak 3 while playing games, videos or/and music. Windows still reduces wolume by 80%.

    Nevermind. I have found the solution to my problems. Let me explain the whole thing:

    I use teamspeak 3 for VOIP when in games. I'm using my own TS3 server.

    The problem I had, was that sounds within windows, when playing music, games and videos got toned down by 80% when someone was talking in Teamspeak, I tried to change the windows settings to not change anything when using communication software, though nothing go changed. I checked the teamspeak 3 client, and found out that the TS3 client itself has an option in the "plugins" where the client takes control. uncheck this option and everything will work perfectly.

    how to:

    Open TS3 - settings - plugins - uncheck "volume control" and close the window.

    Problem solved.

    mic level problem when using ooVoo


    Hello, I would please like you to help me resolve this problem.
    everytime I make a call with ooVoo, system mic levels go down
    I tried to solve the issue and I found out that when I open the "check audio and video" tab in ooVoo and push to check the mic, the levels go down automatically (I also have open the levels tab from control pannel and I see it going from +40db to zero)
