FS22 Sound muted when using Amazon Prime video

Post by chrisheap75 »

Dear all,

I like to listen to Amazon Prime films/ programs when farming. I noticed that as soon as a video is started, all sound in FS22 is muted. I cant see any reason why this happens (it never happened with previous versions of FS).

Does anyone know a way of over-riding this and force enabling the sound on FS?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

I've been experiencing this as well.
It only happens with Amazon Prime Video, both using the desktop app or the website.

It is not taking exclusive control of the playback device, so I am really puzzled :\

Does this have something to do with Digital Right Management (DRM)? Maybe those services want an exclusive right to the audio device for copy protection? Can you check older versions of the game now are having this behavour too?

Someone already mentioned setting the audio device to "Don't allow application to take exclusive control of this device".

What is the volume level for individual applications in the windows volume mixer?

If it isn't obvious from either of those, I'd try using something like Voicemeeter to get more control over audio input and outputs.

Did you try the solution mentioned by Loki?

For me it worked, also a tip is to set your headphones to.: sonic headphones.

Select Start > Settings > System > Sound > Related settings > Sound Control Panel, select a playback device, then select Properties.
In the new window that opens, select Spatial sound.
In Spatial sound format, select Windows Sonic for Headphones, then select Apply.

When you done that, do this and then it should work:
