How to fix

Question

Help solve audio, it only seems that one app can be using the audio at once like the other apps the audio is cut off repeatedly

Answer 1

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like only one app can use your audio at a time, and others get cut off. This is often caused by exclusive mode settings or driver issues.

Try these quick steps:

Turn off exclusive mode
Right-click the sound icon > Sounds > Playback tab
Select your default device > Properties > Advanced tab
Uncheck both exclusive mode options

Check volume mixer
Right-click the sound icon > Open Volume Mixer
Make sure all apps are unmuted

Update or reinstall audio drivers
Open Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers
Right-click your audio device > Update driver
Or uninstall and restart your PC

Try a different output
Switch from Bluetooth to wired or built-in speakers to test

Check app settings
Some apps like Zoom or Discord may take over audio—check their audio settings

Glad that it solved now.
