Re: My Discord voice volume goes quiet when I tab into Apex

@Gundee126
 Go to options/audio and scroll down to the bottom. Then there's 'background voice chat' and 'audio ignores window focus

    @Gundee126 This is the in game options. Apex may be blocking it due to these settings telling it to ignore other windows while apex is running.
  • @E9ine_AC I'm afraid I can't find it. To clarify the only options I can find in-game is when you press escape then click on settings. The audio section provides no such option for window focus or background voice chat.

    @E9ine_AC Also while in game of apex not a match just lobby or what ever go to discord and just trying reset voice settings. To ensure it is not a discord error somewhere.

    @Gundee126 Also is this a wired headet or wireless? This could play a big factor into trouble shooting.
  • @E9ine_AC under advanced sound settings there is an option for background sound, which is turned on, but it doesn't have anything for audio window focus

    I'll be sure to try that next time I have the chance

  • Hey I found your post following the same problem I had with another game. I found that I was using Logitech's G HUB which was changing the Profile to the game and setting the gain extremely low. Figured it might be the same issue you had even though it was almost 2 years ago now and maybe others will run into this post looking for answers.

    Made an account to say than you very much...this was exactly my problem..apex was cutting my mic in half and it turned out g hub was auto switching it to an apex profile where the gain was really low..played with it and got it back to normal! So Thank you very much!

    It has been an annoying problem for weeks. I tried almost every googled method related to window 10 sound settings. Thank you so much!
