Winamp controlling Windows volume

Tiesto · 2006-01-13 21:59:42

Hi all I like to use skype to talk to my friends whilst listening to winamp at the same time however i have came across a problem recently which i am unable to solve... If i turn down the volume in winamp it indirectly turns down the volume in skype by the windows wave volume being turned down. Any idea on how to stop…

Hi all

If i turn down the volume in winamp it indirectly turns down the volume in skype by the windows wave volume being turned down.

Any idea on how to stop winamp from controlling the windows volume?

I had a similar problem a few months back... where I wanted to listen to music while playing Age of Empires, I found it very hard to set the volume for each individually... what worked in the end was using the 'Direct Sound' output plugin in winamp instead of the wave-out.
I'm still using Winamp 2.x here, but I think the later winamps still have this stuff.
