[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1024426, member: 76888"] Enable LAV Mixing, Stereo Output. Center Level = 0.7 , Surround = 0.7 , LFE = 0.0 Type msconfig in start menu, disable your sound card services/effects program. (Check under services + startup).

If problem is you can't hear voice audio in quiet scenes, then enable dynamic range compression (DRC) in LAV Audio settings 75%. Bump it up to 100% as needed.
