Sound Level Adjustment?

[jukespin]

I've wondered about this for some time so now I'm putting the ? to the PC gurus: is there some way I can adjust the relative sounds of two audio output programs?

I like to listen to my music player ( that great dBpowerAMP that Bob recommended ) and would really like to be able to play pinball and centipede with both the game sounds and the music player going at the same time.

The problem is that, without any way to adjust the sound output of the game, its sound is dominant and ruins my ability to enjoy the music player output.

It there any way for me to reduce the sound output of a game relative to that of my music player?

Your playing mp3's right?

If yes, Some programs you can do it in the game themselves, if you can't adjust in-game, then i'm pretty sure you can't as they all controlled by the same controller. All digital sounds are basically .wav files, even MP3's.
If its a CD then you can adjust them seperately in the volume control properties.

Most likely your screwed

That's what I figured. Just had to bounce it off you computer geeks before I put it to bed.:zombie:

Thanks anyway.:)

I used to be able to do this with my sound blaster audigy card. Because the card supported more then one type of output. I could turn the overal system volume down cause the music payed out the line out (or specific digital output) to an amplifier and then to the speakers. Normal system sound went out via the normal audio jack and thus didn't affect the music output. It all depends on your sound card and what it provides and how it handles the diffrent types of audio on your system.
