I'm using a Soundblaster Z soundcard and just recently swapped out my analog speakers for a set of Creative T4 2.1 using the SPDIF/Optical connection. I always use FS2Crew through a separate USB headset for voice and microphone. Today, during my first flight when a hit the hotkey to start FS2Crew, the speaker volume immediayely lowered to a low-mid-level volume that would only increase to a max of a mid-level volume. I'm assuming there is a conflict somewhere. Has anyone experienced this and know of a fix?

Hi David,

 

Please ensure no other programs are running in the background that may attempt to adjust audio (like Skype).

 

Also, please scroll through this for some ideas:
