This can be remedied at the moment by simply turning the master volume on your computer up, but while doing so will increase the volume of other sounds to an audible degree, it will increase the volume of the Skype call to an extent where it becomes deafening instead of comfortable. In addition, in some cases, Windows bugs out and simply forgets to turn the volume of other sounds back up after it reduces it for an incoming/ongoing Skype call, which can prove to be nothing short of aggravating.
Method 1: Changing Communication Activity Setting:
Thankfully, however, Windows turning down the volume of other sounds as soon as it detects communications activity such as a Skype call is a feature that can be disabled, and this is true in the case of every single version of the Windows Operating System out there. To stop Skype from lowering the volume of other sounds, all you need to do is: When the computer boots up, simply check to see whether or not the problem has been resolved. If all went well, you will see that Windows no longer reduces the volume of other sounds being played on your computer (even by a small margin) when it detects communications activity such as a Skype call on the computer. In addition, going through the process above makes sure that the volume of other sounds being played on your computer is never reduced regardless of what communications activity Windows detects, not just Skype calls.
Method 2: Disabling Exclusive Control of Applications
Sound systems have advanced options where they allow applications to take exclusive control of them to change volume or manipulate it. This feature might seem handy but is known to cause glitches where Skype lowers the volume of other applications automatically whenever you are using it. In this solution, we will disable the option and see if this does the trick.
