In the Virtual Streamer what are your settings? under Audio streaming set it to "Vr Headset only" and make sure the "Use Virtual Audio driver" box is ticked.

Yes, I find that the volume sometimes goes right down. I have checked and the virtual Audio driver wasnt ticked.

I was using VoiceAttack/Viacom, DCS and Discord. I have asked on the VD discord and I have been given some info and I will try it out today. I hate it when windows or other apps change things without asking if I want to.

The info was to check where the sound output was going, which I did but it looks like I will have to make it part of my pre-flight checks. I think it is a VD issue.

Just tried it again and it is working. Sound output to headset only.
