November 11, 20178 yr Cheers all. I am having an annoying issue regarding sound volume for P2ATC. When flying the volume mixer (Win10) then periodically is lowering volume for Pilt2ATC to about 10%. It is real annoying not only to miss the ATC instruction, but I also have to call up the volume mixer to raise the volume slider to 100%. I am using Pilot2ATC with Xplane 11.05 while flying the Zibo B737 mod. Does anyone know what is causing this ? Regards Carsten (Denmark)
November 11, 20178 yr Commercial Member This is a Windows thing. Here's a link to a blog discussing How to Prevent Windows from Automatically Reducing Volume: https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/windows-reducing-system-volume/ Hope that helps. Dave
November 11, 20178 yr Author Hi Dave. Thank you for your quick reply. I did what was suggested in the article you linked to and it almost solved the issue. At least now the volume does not get decreased to a 10% level but to around 80%. That is a great improvement so thanks a lot for you help. i must say that Pilot2ATC really expands the simulation of X-plane 11. I use it with the 737 zibo mod and the FMOD by Audiobird. This is "as real as it gets"... ;0) Best regards Carsten (Denmark)
November 11, 20178 yr Commercial Member Thanks Carsten. Glad it's better now. Not sure how to get it to stay at 100%. You can try raising the volume settings on all the voices and see if that helps. Dave

All other voices (ATC Chatter and controllers are at 100% volume. Edit: Note that as a new user of P2A, I let the ATC be handled by the co-pilot (P2A). Next step is of course to speak the ATC. /Carsten
November 18, 20178 yr Author I think I found the solution to the volume problem I have had. At least now the problem is gone. All volume levels are at the set level at all times : Go to "Control panel", Access "Sound" and select the tap "Speakers". Within this tap go to Speaker Properties. Remove tickmark from "Allow applications to take exclusive cotrol of this device". Problem solved ;0) Best regards Carsten (Denmark)
