    Automatically reduce volume when phone rings?


    Does anyone know of a Win 7 application that will sense an incoming call on my landline (via modem) then reduce my media player volume?

    I like to play my music loud, my phone is quiet

    I can't think of good search terms to find an app like that?

    My previous sound card had that option built in. You could select that option via the console.

    Hello Optical,

    You can check in Sound in the Control Panel (icons view) to see if you have this option below to adjust it with.

    Shawn, have seen that before but assumed it only works with Skype etc. However I'll give it another go, thanks.
