April 29, 20215 yr Dear: The sound of my P3D v5.1 becomes very low when ATC window is open. After closing the ATC window, it takes quite a while for the sound to return to normal level. I use Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics unit. I rolled back to an older version of the graphics driver to keep P3D v5 up and running as suggested from P3D Forums. I also use Dreamteam GS X Level 2 and Activesky ASP3D. Please help. Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

I was noticing that my volume would sometimes be hushed after a radio communication in the sim. I guess windows thinks the in game ATC is a phone call. Calum Watt
April 29, 20215 yr Commercial Member I've found the suggestions above didn't work for me - what I needed to do was go into the P3D sound settings and ensure that none of the devices used was the "default communications device". Even if I explicitly used the same device that was my default comm device, that was fine. Cheers! Luke Kolin I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.
April 29, 20215 yr The only what helped on my system. Go to Sound -> Communications what i set to "Do nothing" as default. Then, this is important, I choose "Reduce Volume by xx%." Click "Apply". Then choose "Do nothing" again and "Apply" again. I have to to do this after every Windows Start. But I don't have any sound drops during the current Windows session, no matter how long it lasts. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
April 30, 20215 yr I assigned my default sound device to the nVidia HD sound, and my P3D sounds to my main sound device, a Creative XFi sound board. Since the "ducking" issue applies only to the default sound device, it does not affect the sim any longer. The usual fixes did not work for me, like what's SUPPOSED to work in Win 10 by going into Sound -> Communications and selecting "Do nothing" Regards Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case

That's why I go from "Do Nothing" to another setting and then select "Do nothing" again. Helps in my case with default device. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
April 30, 20215 yr I think that Microsoft need to assign some of that "Azure AI" to Windows 10, so that it actually knows what it is doing.

When i disable the option all is solved here local 🙂 (sound device control panel>properties>advanced) André

Regards, Haseen Ahmad. Firstly - tick this option „do nothing” as it was above. Second - go to P3D settings, sound and take the name of your sound system (speakers, headphones ...), so not Default option as you have perhaps, for the first 2 sound lines. Will be ok after this.
