I think it may is possible to solve this in windows 7, However that could be problematic to do. and you who run windows 7, must start accept that sthis IOS start to be old fasion. So it is right from devs to develope for the future.
For you it is a willing if you want to upgrade or not. Not an money-question.

Interesting If you are talking about making things go down like other audio when communatating then windows 7 sure can do that. if you go into your speaker icon, then play back the last item in there is to do what you might say audio ducking is so that is why i have asked if that would not work here as well if you are talking about a windows api / api call that should work not sure though.

Hi,
I'm talking about Windows API. In order for audio ducking to work, a screen reader must tell Windows that it wishes to indeed duck audio (this requires certain privileges). I'll talk audio ducking during the upcoming NVDA presentation.
Cheers,

I don't see why not that nvda could do audio ducking in windows 7 because in the comunations settings you have options to do nothing lower the sound by 50 percent or 80 percent and so on, So why not allow nvda to do audio ducking in windows 7?
