Hello

Thank you for posting in the Q&A forum.

Using Group Policy (for multiple users)

If you are managing a large number of users, especially in an enterprise environment, the best approach is to configure this setting through Group Policy. This applies the change to all users who log on to the computer, including users who may not be aware of the setting.

To disable Communication Activity Detection through Group Policy:

Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC):

On the server or management computer, press , type , and then press Enter. Win + Rgpmc.msc

Create or edit a Group Policy Object (GPO):

In the GPMC, right-click the appropriate organizational unit (OU) or domain to which you want to apply the policy, and select Create a GPO in this domain, and then select Link it here.

Give it a name (for example, "Disable Communication Activity Detection").

Edit the GPO:

Right-click the new GPO and select Edit.

Navigate to the Start menu > Taskbar > User Configuration and Administrative Templates.

Disable Communication Activity Detection:

Look for a setting called "Do not adjust volume when communication activity is detected."

Set this policy to Enabled. This will prevent Windows from automatically adjusting the volume when communication activity is detected.

I hope the above information is helpful to you.

Best regards
