System sounds getting muted

Question

During a meeting on the desktop teams app, all my other system sounds are getting muted. Sounds on chrome, music apps, videos etc. are muted.

Answer 1

Yep, (1) is exactly as you describe already.

Anв still, (2) is exactly where the issue presents itself: when I join an MS teams meeting, all other apps that produce sounds at the moment gets muted in the volume mixer, and I have to un-mute them manually.

I've tried all the MS teams options related to sound devices, volume, etc. The issue happens regardless of anything I change there.

Answer 2

neither the 1st option workes nor the 2nd option....while taking meetings on teams, the sound of teams remains the same but the sound of chrome , youtube , vlc player , instagram (basically everything other than teams meeting) gets off..i have tried so many options but still its not working

Answer 3

Hello S,

My name is Veejay, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be glad to help you.

Can you try checking on the sound settings:

(1) Right click on the Volume Icon at the bottom of the Desktop > Sounds

A new window will open then go to Communications Tab > Select Do Nothing.

Hit Apply then OK.

(2) Checking the Volume Mixer

Right click on the Volume Icon at the bottom of the desktop > Open Volume Mixer

Check on the other apps volume.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concern.

Thank you
