Hello,
i have problem with MS Teams. I'm working on Teams, but I do not making a lot of calls. I'm able to listening to music when working. But i got a lot of notifications from Teams (necessary) and for every notification other sounds from system are getting lower. It's very annoying when listening to music or watching any kind of webinar. Can i somewhere change it? The same with calls. I just don't want to allow Teams to change my volume.
I've tried to uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" for my speakers and headphones but didn't work for it.

@Muzykant Did you ever figure this out? Its pretty annoying when you are listening to something and I get a chat notification and it drops the audio from whatever I'm listening to so low that I basically cant hear it. It only applies to notifications I get from Teams and no other Windows 10 notifications. I cant seem to find an option anywhere to change it (in Teams settings or Windows 10).

@Muzykant same problem here. It's only just started doing it (for some reason), but it's really annoying. I have the "When windows detects communication activity" setting in the control panel for "sound" in the "communications" tab set to "Do nothing", which it appears to be ignored by Teams now.

Same issue here, very annoying, found the solution though:
Basically:
control panel > hardware and sound > sound > tab communication, select do nothing

@steven140 I already stated that that "Do nothing" option doesn't work for Teams which appears to ignore it and lower the volume anyway.

That worked for me.

Just for clarification. Where in devices are you seeing noise suppression? Is this under the specific audio device that your content is being delivered through?

@chrischambersku Putting this here so anyone who finds it has the answer. The Noise suppression setting is within Teams settings itself. Settings > Devices > Noise suppression > Set off.

Sorry @Gamdol that Noise Suppression setting has nothing to do with the problem stated here.

Thank you @ReTechNL for this. This worked for me.
For clarification purposes. This is under Sound Control Panel, then playback tab. Then in the properties section of the device you would like to change.
@Gamdol @SimonG2085 copying you both on, as this worked. I didn't see this early on in the thread. Hope this helps anyone else. Many Thanks!

Something that helped me was going into the audio devices properties and turning off the "Enable audio Enhancements" under the advanced tab. You could try that.

@Muzykant Hello, in the Sound Control Panel, switch over to the Communications tab.
Change the setting to Do Nothing.

@MuzykantI know this is old, but I think I found a fix that seems to work for. In the MS Teams Settings > Notifications, I changed my notification style to Windows (from 'Teams build-in') and it no longer lowers the volume of my music. Hopefully that helps other people
To still get notifications, you'd need to make sure Windows notifications setting is still setup. Settings > System > Notifications and Actions

@Muzykant Teams is BUGGED:
FOUND THE FIX - TEAMS HAS A GLITCHED SETTING THAT DOES THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT SAYS
THERE IS A GLITCH IN TEAMS WHERE NOISE SUPPRESSION SET TO "OFF" CAUSES VOLUME DECREASES IN ALL APPLICATIONS - SET IT TO "LOW" TO FIX THIS GLITCH, TO INCREASE THE VOLUME IN ALL APPS
THIS IS THE FIX - IT COUNTER-INTUITIVE BUT CORRECT:
You have to turn ON "Noise Suppression" in teams to turn OFF "Noise Suppression" in Teams and everything else
The rest below is just so no one claim that any of the other settings are the fix. The below settings did not fix the issue - and cover pretty much all setting you would noramlly try in fixing this issue.
And so no one claims that we aren't using the correct settings - here are all the other settings you should use when troubleshooting such a problem. Note that NONE OF THESE fixed the issue:
SO AGAIN, THE FIX IS TO ENABLE NOISE SUPPRESSION IN TEAMS
I verified this in 4 different affected PC's in our company now.
