Title: Teamviewer 11 muting system sounds
Post by: xello on December 29, 2015, 05:05:25 AM

So i've noticed that whenever connecting to my computer, if i have 'Play computer sounds and music' enabled for some reason it mutes System Sounds while the TV session is active, you know this one:

The bigger problem is that sometimes after a session ends, system sounds are still muted. This is very irritating.

Why are they being muted in the first place? The reason I enable 'play computer sounds and music' is that I want to hear the remote system's sounds, yet it is being automatically muted.

I can't find an option to toggle this behaviour.

I want to "bump" this issue.

(my OS:  Win7.     remote OS:   Win7)

Personally, when I wasn't hearing any sounds - I spent about 2 hours reviewing my TeamViewer options on both ends.  Even the speaker icon in my tray showed NOT muted.

Then only after I found this post, I opened "mixer" to see if any of the subcategories were muted, and turns out just the system sounds were muted.

Is this a feature?   If so, it seems extremely unintuitive.

I want to second the original poster - I enabled sounds so I can hear this stuff.

Is there any way to prevent this?
