My audio gets real quiet sometimes, restart fixes it, but any other way to fix it?

I had a similar problem then changed Sound -> Communications to Do Nothing and it stopped:


The default was 80% or 50%, don't remember which. If you are running Vista or newer, you could give that a try.


You can tell this mode activates by, in Volume Control, the actual volume setting gets fixed to 50 or 80% of the actual sound setting. I could never find a way to put it back without restarting.

I think that fixed it, it was set to 80%. :) You rock!
