====== Temporarily Disable Audio Ducking in OS X ====== When you enter a call in OS X, as of Mavericks, it lowers the volume of everything else besides the call. There's no way to disable this "feature." Solution: Before making the call in the application, paste one of the following line into terminal. printf "p *(char*)(void(*)())AudioDeviceDuck=0xc3\nq" | lldb -n FaceTime printf "p *(char*)(void(*)())AudioDeviceDuck=0xc3\nq" | lldb -n QQ printf "p *(char*)(void(*)())AudioDeviceDuck=0xc3\nq" | lldb -n Skype ===== See Alsos ===== * http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/189552/facetime-calls-lower-system-volume {{tag>osx audio lldb}}
