I can manually open up the Windows Volume Mixer from the system tray and fiddle with each individual volume control for each individual audio source but that’s 1) a huge pain and 2) only temporary as the second I shut down Skype and start it again then all the volumes are automatically decreased. I’ve looked everywhere in the Skype menus, but I can’t find a single thing that indicates any sort of control over this volume-dampening effect.
It works pretty well as a voice chat channel while we’re playing, but there’s one super annoying feature that I can’t seem to fix.Įverytime I start Skype, Skype seems to nearly mute all other audio (every audio source but Skype is probably only 10-20% its previous volume). Lately I’ve been using Skype to talk to my nephew while we play video games together. Read on as we fix the Skype silencing issue. While that’s great for ensuring you don’t blast your video conference partners with music it can also be a detriment when it mutes sounds you need to hear. You fire up Skype and suddenly everything on your computer is radically quieter.
