Fixed Volume Automatically Mutes Itself Every Few Minutes

I'm experiencing an issue where my fixed volume automatically mutes itself every few minutes on my Windows PC, which disrupts my work and entertainment. Despite adjusting the volume settings and updating sound drivers, the problem persists, and I can't find a consistent solution to prevent the volume from muting randomly.

    Hi Wamkkoimjoin, I would first set Windows communications activity to "Do nothing" and disable audio enhancements for the playback device. If it keeps muting, unplug headsets, docks, keyboards, or USB audio devices one at a time. Vendor audio apps or meeting apps can also send mute commands in the background.
