Mumbles disables Windows 7 sound ?

[jean-sam]

Hi, i use mumble and a microphone to play.

When i dont use mumble, i can hear the windows sounds and my game all right.

When i start mumble, i cannot hear any windows sounds nore can i hear my game; i can hear my friends online though.

Sound levels in the control pannel, under Win 7, are all right (all at 100 %).

So it seems to me that starting mumble disable all sounds.

Should you have any idea I'd be pleased to try. Thanks.

Did you enable exclusive mode?

Do you have sound attenuation enabled?

[jean-sam]

Yes i had exclusive mode on, that is why that problem occurred i guess.

Now it seems to work fine.

Thanks for your help, kind regards.

It was not a problem but a feature then. :)

That’s what the help text on exclusive mode says as well - it gives Mumble exclusive access to the audio device, for even lower latency.
