Low Volume feature in Games in Windows 7

Speed Up My PC

Windows 7 includes a new feature that automatically reduces the speaker volume  when any communications activity is detected.

Some online games include the ability to use a microphone to talk to team-mates during online play.

In this cases, Windows 7 automatically decreases the speaker volume.

Howvever if you dont like it you can disable this feature as follows:

    I’ve tried this fix about a dozen times and it still hasn’t stopped Windows from lowering the volume of other applications when I start using my microphone or someone else starts talking to me through Teamspeak or Ventrilo.
