Prevent teamviewer from using any sound
Ok, so this problem seems to be the opposite of what most people are asking for.
I want to be able to disable Teamviewer from hijacking local sound when connected to a remote client.
To be clear: If im working on PC1 and i use Teamviewer to connect to PC2. I dont want Teamviewer to disable local sounds on PC1. I want to continue listening to Spotify or whatever. Currently Teamviewer will hijack sound, and prevent audio from local applications from playing.
Does anyone know of a fix for this, or is it how Teamviewer functions? And if so, can developers please add an option for preventing this?

Hi nems,
Please open your Windows Sound options, click on the tab "communication" and make sure that this option is set to "never".
This should help

Right click on your Volume icon on the System Tray then click on Open Volume Mixer, and simply mute the TeamViewer application from that point.

Unfortunately, I dont see Team Viewer in my Volume Mixer in Windows 10 :-( ... so the app is still hijacking the system audio.

Try to keep the TeamViewer sound active (go to options and open Audioconference or make a test session), Then it will show up in the sound mixer.
