Sound changes/decrease in quality during game

[Flandar]

Hello,

The sound quality of my headset changes and drops considerably when I enter a game.

For example, when I start a game with Spotify running, the music quality is not clear at all, and even the sound quality of the game takes a hit.

On Discord, I can barely hear other people's voices.

On MHW, I only hear it when I'm in combat with a monster, and the quality returns as soon as I've completed the mission...

I have a Bose AE Sounlink headset, and I'm running Windows 11.

Thanks in advance

You simple do not swap sounds headset/speaker in game , this is a well know issue among many pc users.

You change output game already know settings when started, and cant fix output while game is running. ( they might fix this someday, but we other have seen this over 10-20 years or more. )


+ you also forget sounds settings can reduce output then other app is running this is know as reduce other app or equal sounds.

In windows system you have sounds volume power , even that can be diffrent


Have you tested this with not running spotify, then i bet settings is high again.

What sound card(s) are you using?


Your specifications can be found in many places, including dxdiag, which can be found by searching in Windows dxdiag or running dxdiag.exe with [Windows Key]+R.

Be sure to exclude any personal information such as your machine ID, and if your not sure ask first.

Thank you kind sir,

I got the answer myself : the vocal chat IG was the problem, I just had to disable the option
