Well, it turns out the method of detecting “communications” as Microsoft calls it… is not fool proof. So after giving you the above steps on how to use Windows’ automatic audio level adjustment feature, why would you now disable it?!? How to Disable Automatic Audio Level Adjustment The next time you make or receive a PC phone call, the audio level for other sounds will adjust according to the option you selected. Note: Click Do nothing if you want all other sounds to stay at the same volume during calls. Note: Click Mute all other sounds if you want Windows to out all other playing audio to silent when you’re in a call.

Luckily, Windows 10 has a feature to automatically lower audio volume when making or receiving phone calls. You want these ‘other sounds’ to automatically lower down during phone calls. So that’s clear… NO to manually muting or lowering the sound volume for whatever it is you’re playing when making or receiving computer calls. Please note that a 'call' in this context means either an audio or a video call made using a communications app installed on your computer such as Skype, WhatsApp, Zoom, Viber, Messenger etc. You want to hear that incoming call loud and clear OVER whatever music you’re listening to, or video you may be watching.
