This is odd but when I click on the volume in windows and click the mixer it shows everything that has sound including VoX ATC however when I increase the volume to max as soon as the 1st officer speaks the volume drops back to 50%. I assume this is something to do with windows but not sure

Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah its a bug introduced in a recent Windows update. It has nothing to do with VOXATC. Here's a thread about it on the official Prepar3d forum:

One user said it can be fixed by:

The problem can be solved by going to "Sound" in Control Panel and then Communication and click on "do nothing"..

 

Thanks, I just did a windows install and forgot about the do nothing tab. Its selected now so problem should be solved

Fired up the sim and VOX ATC and straight back to 50% volume and thats with do nothing enabled. This happened when I used the demo as well but never with the old versions. Seems to be a common occurrence on google so will follow a few of their trouble shooting guides

Thought I would reopen this thread In the off chance somebody may have some ideas as I have had no luck finding a solution

And here is the confusing part...The volume only drops to 50% whit CONTROLLER voices . The pilot voices have no effect at all

Again, it's a Windows issue and it affects more than just VOXATC. Here's another option that people have tried. If you have Realtek sound drivers installed, update them to the latest version.

Thanks for your help , I Downloaded realtek website 2017 latest driver but that didn't work. Have do nothing checked and that doesn't work.

At a loss where to go from here

All those "solutions" (updating audio drivers, disable sound enhancements, eliminate exclusive use, etc.) may work for some people only by disguising the bug in Windows.
