Weird low volume when shooting in games

[Witski]

Pretty much the tiltle...
After the last Windows update my volume is lowered a lot even with everything cranked up..so high that i can destroy my ear in 5 minutes by listening music or play battlefield games..but now whenever i fire a gun in a game the volume gets low and i don't know why,i tried almost everything...
To put into prespective in the division with everything at 5% volume the volume is still super hight that prevents me to hear anyone in discord and such...now at 5% is like dead silent,even the voices on discord get somewhat distorted.

(i tried to change headset aswell but same problem)

I understand what that is and does, but doesn't apply here.

Audio dimming is a default feature for all of Windows OS. It's been this way since Vista/Win7 era. Not sure if XP had this or not... anyways.

It's on by default so that when you do things like voice chat, during the chat voice exchanges it auto lowers slightly the main focus volume such as your game. Some don't notice it, I myself hate it to death and back. It's straight up annoying and nothing like that should be an automatic OS wide default. Same with things like hotkeys for Narrator, Mouse Keys, Sticky Keys.

But again, easy to turn off
Users must learn where these settings are and Disable them all, especially on a Gaming PC. It's basically some of the first things to disable when setting up any WINOS based system unless you're doing a machine for someone else and then, let them decide how to go about all of that. MS does some really dumb things when it comes to automatic defaults. Basically if was me as a Dev, I'd have all these options available to enable or disable during the OS installer and config screens. So the main Admin user doing the setup can pick and choose these potentially annoying settings on/off as they see fit from the very beginning.
