Atavus Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I have got a strange issue with MX5 (5.1.2.300) and my system sound (Win7 Ultimate SP1 x64). When I play any stream(s) on Twitch.tv, I can hear the streamer(s) audio(s), but everything else on my system becomes mute, including any game or audio application I would launch. All application I try to use afterward simply stop producing any sound. I have tried playing around with my audio settings, in particular: Playback devices > Speakers > Advanced > Exclusive Mode, which I unchecked. I have tried about 5 other browsers and none of them exhibit this issue. I don't know if this is somehow specific to my computer or settings, and if it is, won't that affect other browsers? Or is there some option in MX5 I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the other programs show an icon in the volume mixer when they aren't producing sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atavus Posted October 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I do not use Facebook, but I do not remember facing this issue while using YT. I am almost sure everything was looking normal in sound mixer as I was fiddling about in there looking for a solution and did not see anything weird. I have not encountered it again, so I cannot check to be 100% sure, but it did happen with another browser (I am not 100% sure but it may have been Comodo Dragon which is based on Chrome). I did not encounter it with Brave or Firefox though. Firefox did give me another issue with my SSD/HDD spiking and nearly locking my system after I left multiple streams running for hours. Not sure what that was. I did switch to Brave for the twitch event just to run multiple streams overnight and everything ran fine and I never had system sound issues. Anyway, if this happens again with MX I will double check everything you guys mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
