Skype

[Yoshi1991 14]

When me and my friend use skype in game, it turns down the volume of the game all on its own, how do I stop this from happening? I have windows 8, and on windows 8, skype is an app, on which I can't find the F**king settings menu.

As you can tell I'm being calm and angry all at the same time here, any help that comes in time, before I throw my computer down the stairs, would be helpful.

Thanks.

Step 1. Buy windows 7

But the way your making it sound, it's turning the game volume down. So if that's the problem, just turn it up ingame.

Windows 8 is just fine. Apps though suck soooo bad.

I had the exact same problem, just download skype online as a file and install it in the desktop environment.

That solved it for me at least.

Done and fixed, I think.

It is actualy Windows that does this. Just right click the sound icon on your taskbar and click on "playback devices". Go to the communications tab and make sure u have "Do Nothing" selected.
