Windows automatically lowers the volume of applications

• Automatically adjust the volume

  Is there a way to have windows 7 automatically adjust the volume during playback of something that soften the strong bits and the quiet bits are turned upward? I thought as an automated thing. I don't think that windows can do on its own, but I can't find a program.

  There is something called "loudness equalization" maybe it's worth a try. Not sure if it will work or not, but it's a quick test.

  • Right click on the speaker near the clock icon.
  • Click 'play' devices.
  • Click on the default device - speakers
  • Click
  • Click [tab improvements]
  • and check the box "loudness equalization.

  Not sure, but if all goes well it may be (a little).

• Update Windows automatically restarts the computer. I would like to disable this feature.

  Update Windows automatically restarts the computer. I would like to disable this feature. I'm running a machine business with complex projects requiring a configuration long and delicate. The details below:
  Type of operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate
  Problem: Status of the project lost after auto restart during the night
  Require: A method of disabling automatic restart after an automatic update is happening.
  Tried: I already tried looking in the registry for an appropriate key change, but no have been found appropriate.

  Aelryn,
  You can configure Windows update to meet your needs, for example, download the update and then let me choose when to install the same. This way you always get the automatic updates but you chose when and where and how to install updates at a time that is convenient.

  Then I suggest to change the Automatic Updates settings to meet the needs of PAHO.

  Choice, you can turn off to THE (not recommended), you can adjust to download updates only and allow you to install them at a convenient time, you can adjust information only, or you can leave to do what he likes.

  If you update, you must restart sometime in the case otherwise you are not protected and you might as well do not update at all. Everything is a matter of choice. One size does not fit all, so a choice can be made. I have updates informed me only, then I decide what, when and how to do to install the updates. It's my choice.

  Hello

  Try this:

  Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
  Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
  Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
  CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

  Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

  Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
  you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

  Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
  Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
  most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
  run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  When I copy a file to a folder and rename the file, that I right click once on the file name to select it and again to place the cursor where I want to change the name in the name of the original file.  However, until I'm able to start typing the computer automatically highlights the entire file name, so that when I start typing deletes the original file name and replace it with what I typed.  Is there a way to avoid this and allow me to change the name of original rather than delete it and start from scratch?

• Audio Line in/out on SP2309W lowers the volume of sound transmission

  Try to use plugs SP2309W Audio Line-in/out to pass the computer sound through headphones, I found that the volume is * much * reduced, compared to plugging headphones directly into Win8 x 64 PC.

  As discussed in http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/p/19328102/19680277.aspx, this plan offers no functional benefits; It's just more convenient in terms of layout of the cables on the desktop.

  Does anyone know if this behaviour (interfering with sound signal and by reducing its volume) is design? Is it possible to assign it?

  "Interestingly, when the monitor enters the power saving Mode, the sound is not through audio in/out more."
  This is normal on all Dell monitors.

  The other problem has been reported before, but the sample size was small. I've not heard of a fix for this. I would plug the headphones directly into the PC.

  I have a professional Windows XP Tablet from Lenovo X 200 ongoing execution machine. This problem does not occur * too * often, but enough to be annoying.

• Automatically adjusts the brightness with the background of the window.

  This is a fairly long description of the question, but I tried to be as complete as possible (this looks like a minor problem but it's very embarrassing in the conditions I work often) I have a laptop Dell Inspiron under Windows 7 Home Premium, and I'm having a problem with the brightness of the screen. I was not able to locate any other positions, even with a similar problem:

  Windows automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the background color of any windows is open. When the toggle between light/dark background brightness will increase or decrease respectively. This is unrelated to all conditions of lightning of the room, and I was able to nail that this occurs only when two conditions are met (but she she 100% reproducible in these conditions) 1. Laptop is running on battery and 2. the screen brightness slider is calibrated for lower brightness about settings up to about 30 to 40%.
  I tried to eliminate all possible variables that I can think of, including the diagnosis via msconfig startup. This automatic brightness adjustment occurs independently of the program or the window involved, but here's an example where I cut everything and simply alternate between the Windows desktop (including the black background value) and Windows Explorer (white background).
  EXAMPLE 1: Desktop (black) came, no agenda. I open Windows Explorer (white) and the brightness fades gradually more light for a period of 5 seconds, tick-tick-tick-tick-tick brighter. I reduce Windows Explorer (dark back) and the brightness fades gradually more dark, tick-tick-tick-tick darker. When working in a darkened room this very annoying constant increase or decrease the brightness. Note that the brightness slider is set to the minimum setting all this time (about 40% of the automatic erasure is more noticeable at the point of annoying, even if it is always present, but 40% is way too bright for a darkened room).
  EXAMPLE 2: I opened two tabs in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer (that happens for two and all the other programs besides), in a tab of the page Web has a dark background (grey/brick/whatever) while the other tab has a light background (white/yellow/whatever). As I switch between tabs brightness will decrease after the passage in the darker background and rise after the transition to the lighter background, tick-tick-tick-tick-tick discoloration with about 5 seconds each time.
  Since this only occurs on battery you need just a simple setting in Power Options, but I don't the do have not yet localized as and option. I would be grateful all the ideas, and I can provide more information if necessary. Two solutions would be acceptable
  (A) brightness remains constant at the level that I put it independently to know if the laptop is plugged in or on battery power.
  (B) brightness adjusts in a single 'jump' when switch between light/dark circles, rather than erasing more than 5 seconds.
  Thanks for your help

  In fact, after a lot of research and work of suggestions other people, I think I found a solution that works on my machine. (I'm saying I think because I shot to the top of a black web page, he gave way to the screen for a while and looked and seems not to reduce intensity, but I'm a little worried that it's just top-down influence and I just wanted to believe that I solved the problem...)

  Here's what I did (on my Toshiba);
  Control Panel > display > adjust the resolution
  Click on 'Advanced settings' (a small blue link in the drop-down "Orientation").
  Click on tab "Intel (R) Graphics and Media Control Panel"
  Graphics properties
  Power > power features
  Click the menu drop-down and select 'on battery '. Under this drop-down menu, there is a checkbox next to "Display Power Saving Technology" that only appears when "on battery" is selected. On my computer, the box has been checked. I've disabled, and who seems to have stopped the display to change the brightness according to the color of the window.
  I hope this works for some other people (and indeed works for me) - this seems to be a very rare but incredibly annoying problem for those of us who got it.

• The volume control in the mixer Volume for Skype is always set to very low for new calls.

  Hey all!

  It's really annoying to have to adjust the volume in the Volume mixer upside whenever there is a new call. I have no volume of speakers set to automatic in the options, and I have no idea what else controls the adjustment for volume.

  It is not enough that Skype (now a Microsoft product) can't understand the audio, I use as ANY OTHER program (i.e. for other programs to plug my headphones is enough sound to be redirected here but NOT for Skype. For Skype, that I have to go into settings and change the sound output device!). I use Skype for a few years due to its good call quality, but if I can't find a solution for this I have to change to another similar product.

  My system is a 64Pro of Win7.

  All ideas will be more appreciated!

  CAK

  Eureka!
  
  There is a setting in Windows 7, I don't know about other versions - (tab Communications/sounds/Control Panel that tells Windows to automatically reduce the volume of other sounds when the PC is used to place or receive calls.

  Skype is SO smart that it reduces the volume of itself too when there is an incoming call, and so all incoming calls have a lower volume.
  
  To solve the problem simply to set the option to "do nothing"...

  .. .and continue looking for alternative software replace Skype. Unfortunately Ms. are actively trying to destroy a good thing...
