Build 15048: if audio ducking is set to "duck when outputting speech", audio always ducks

[josephsl]

Hi,

A possible solution to #6684:

In build 15048, when audio ducking is set to "duck when outputting speech", audio always ducks.

STR:

1. If you haven't, install 15048 fast ring build.
2. Run a program such as Winamp, Movies and TV and what not and play something.
3. Perform step 2 with different audio ducking settings applied.

Expected: if audio ducking is set to "speech", other audio will duck as long as NVDA is speaking:
Actual: audio always ducks.
Reproducible: yes.

Setup:

• NVDA version: 2017.1, latest next build.
• OS: Windows 10 build 15048.

Thanks.

Hi,

Never mind, misread the specs. Thanks.

Hello,

I can also reproduce this. If I set NVDA to lower the volume of other apps when NVDA outputs speech and audio, the volume level remains lowered constantly and not only when NVDA is speaking.

Test environment:

• Operating system: Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview (build 15048.0), 32-bit, in English with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian", running in a virtual machine in VMWare Player.
• NVDA version: next-13899,af44c1d4.
• Processor: Intel Core i5-2320 at 3.00GHz.
• RAM Memory: 3.00GB.
• Graphics: Palit GeForce GT 630, 1024MB dedicated memory + 3071MB shared system memory, desktop resolution set to 1920x1080.
• Sound Card: Realtek ALC662 at Intel Cougar Point PCH - High Definition Audio Controller.
• VMware Player version: 12.5.2 build-4638234.

No, you're correct: Microsoft reverted the ducking change in build 15048. So, we now need to revert the mitigating change in NVDA.

Do we really need anything in the whats new here? Was this in 17.1?
