Hi, sometimes when I listen to spotify or playing games my sound volume is changing. I played CSGO and put my volume at 10, then after some while I wanted to hear music, so I log in to my spotify user and listen to some music. But then the volume kinda drops, so I have to change my volume to about 30 to get the same strength as 10 while i played CSGO.

Any other who have the similar problem? How do I fix this?

Right click on your taskbar volume symbol and open the Volume Mixer, check to make sure that when Spotify opens it doesn't drop the sound of CSGO and other programs, if it does just raise the volume of the game back up.

If I'm playing any game and I get a call on Skype, it overrides my game volume in the mixer and drops down to almost zero and I have to raise it back up, every single time. If i launch the call first, then the game I don't have any issues.

So this may just be one program overriding another. I wish I could tell you a way to stop it, because with Skype it is incredibly annoying, but it's a program problem and not an issue with your laptop.

Disable the Power Management feature of the Realtek sound, that does wonders for me

launch Reg Edit, then navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtek\RAVCpl64\PowerMgnt

Now Double click on Enabled and set the value to 0 then reboot
