ATC Voice audibility

[jsmcwilliam 3]

I run Vox ATC 7.43 together with P3Dv5 under Windows 10 and have a problem when listening to ATC voice responses. I have maximised the volumes in Voxatc/voice configuration and have reduced the engine volume setting in my PMDG 737 NGXu to 25% This has not solved the problem and I cannot hear the ATIS readout or the VoxATC responses unless I press Q to mute all PMDG sounds. When I do this I can communicate with Vox and can also hear my Fs2Crew responses. There is a similar problem with GSX. During pushback I cannot hear the instructions from the ground crew - "set brakes" -  unless I press Q.

Any suggestions appreciated. There is a earlier question on the forum dealing with voice input but this does not seem to be a problem for me.

Do you direct sounds to particular devices?

I have a/c sounds through my external speakers and vox through my headphones

You can check if sound is being muted when the system thinks you are making a call (mic active).

Right click on the speaker icon on the windows task bar

Select Open Sound Settings

On the left select Sound Control Panel

Click on the Communications tab and select Do nothing

Both replies were usefull, now I have a better balance between Vox and PMDG sounds. Thank you for the advise.
