    background program volume?


    So if I am playing Left 4 Dead and listen to iTunes...my iTunes gets quiet automatically while playing Left 4 Dead. When I click on the iTunes it gets louder again and Left 4 Dead gets quiet. Is there any way to disable that feature?

    I'm not sur if this is what you're looking for but open the programs then right click the speaker icon and go to "open volume mixer" you can make any app any volume you want (or no volume) try it out it may work. Good luck.
