Windows 7 – VLC Turns Down Sound Volume When Monitor is Off

audiovlc-media-playerwindows 7

I have come to experience a pretty strange behavior. When I run VLC Player and I turn off my primary monitor to watch it on the secondary monitor, VLC Player turns down the volume. If I turn off my secondary monitor to watch it on my primary monitor, VLC does not turn down the volume. It also looks strange in the Volume mixer, as can be seen in the image I added Any idea, how to turn that behavior off?

Edit: Although I had the tags in correctly, I didn't write it in the text: Win7 Pro x64, SP1

Go to

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Communications tab

Select "Do Nothing"

Had this issue in a different application (Subsonic) and worked there.
