August 10, 20205 yr Hi Dave, First of all, your program is great and I really enjoy it. Thank you for all the hard work. I have the following problem. When I start P2A, everything is fine. The sounds from the airplane, the ATC communication, the chatter volume are all in good balance. Also the microphone works well and I can easily communicate with ATC. Then suddenly, after a few minutes, the volume for ATC and chatter drops to a rather low level. This is although in Windows volume mixer and Windows sound settings everything (output and input (i.e. mic)) looks the same as before. Also, now, my microphone input is almost never understood by ATC, mostly ignored. When I hit the Q key in P3D, then I am back to normal (but have no sound from the simulator). When I hit Q again, the problems are back. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. Klaus AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24 GB VRAM), 64 GB RAM, 4k TV
August 10, 20205 yr In Control Panel -> Sound go to the "Communications" tab and make sure that "Do nothing" is checked and applied.

August 10, 20205 yr Commercial Member First, check to see what the Q hot key is set to in P3D. That seems to be related. Also, check the Windows sound settings - Sound Control Panel and be sure that the Communications tab of the sound settings has "Do Nothing" checked. Otherwise, when Windows detects what it thinks is Communications, it might be muting or drastically reducing volume on all other programs. Dave
August 10, 20205 yr Author Hi Bob and Dave, Thank you very much. The "Do nothing" was not selected, instead it reduced volume by 80%. Now it's working fine. Thanks again. Klaus AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24 GB VRAM), 64 GB RAM, 4k TV
