So for the past month probably, ive been having inconsistent sound. I ALWAYS have to mess with the mixer at the bottom right on the toolbar. For example I was just playing garrys mod and I had teamspeak on at the same time, but windows just kept automatically putting the teamspeak slider all the way down and literally like every 30 seconds I had to turn it back up. Another example, I had pandora radio running in firefox and I was playing counter strike. After EVERY round in counter strike windows put the pandora sound slider super low. Also, whenever I restart firefox or chrome if I go to watch a youtube video or something like that the flash slider is always set super low by default.
