Tune & All - Ok, I tried those suggestions, no change - I also tried different devices, my Bose QC 35 Blue Tooth Headphones, My Samsung Buds + and my Buds Pro. Set volume level at 4, windows media player listening to music, open any other program, regardless of what, volume goes immediately to 40. This happens in Sim, every time I click inside cockpit on any button or instrument as well. I cannot even remember when it started happening. It’s a windows problem, because it happens in X-Plane as well.
It is frustrating because I just reset my system back to OEM baseload less than two weeks ago, and discovered a bad HDD, which had to be changed out. But, some update in Windows, changed this for me and I believe countless others as well. I cannot tell you which one, but it’s not the Realtek Driver, because I have rolled it back and then installed the one for Windows 11 and that did not fix it. It’s a MS Windows issue. Thank all for the assistance, I know MS is aware of it, but until enough people lose hearing, and class action happens, nothing else will change it.
If this sim would run in Linux (X-Plane can) I would dump Windows and go to Linux, but I would lose many of my favorite programs I think. Not good enough on OS’s now a days to go through all that disruption.
