Hey guys, i need some help. I just streamed a few days ago, and the quality of the stream was perfect. You could hear my voice, no lag, etc. I tried to record a game with my skype friends, and it was alot of fun. I go to view what i recorded, but my microphone was eather muffled or muted whenever i talked. I needed to yell if you could hear me, but my friends told me there was nothing wrong with my audio while we were in the game.

I recorded one other video about half a year ago, and it had the same effect. I was in skype playing with my friends, they could hear me, but the video muffled my voice...

I dont know how to fix this, can anyone help me?

Thanks, Frank

P.S. If you need me to send you links to the "muffle/mute", i have a few videos i can show.

As I said above, in skype. I'm sure its not called audio ducking anymore, but I cant recall what it is called. but I think its something like "lower volume while others are talking", and "lower volume while I a talking"

I did some more testing, my noise gate can pick up my audio (in the correct spot). But when i skype with my friends, the "levels" dont change, and its in the gate, but its still being muted. Maybe a dev can help me?

If you right click on your speaker near the clock and select playback devices, then double click your speaker device, then enhancements tab, select disable all sound effects see if that makes a difference. if it doesn't, you are going to have to find the setting in skype that is causing the audio volumes to lower.

I would also recommend going into your speakers settings and making sure that "lower all sounds by [percentage amount]" is set to none. I had problems recording my friends voices, but I had it set to lower things by 80% (the default) and once I got rid of the automatically lowering setting, it helped a lot.

OK! That took me a while to do, I allready did what Mr4 said i should do, and i just tested dpings "disable all sound effects" and it works! Thank you everyone for helping me through this problem, ill keep this up here so other people with the same problem can look at it.

If your reading this and have the same problem as i do, check off lower sound levels to none, and make sure you disable all sound effects on your speakers through your playback devices.
