Well, I'm not Armin but it does talk about per-app volume. This is a |
80 |
quote from the link above: |
81 |
|
82 |
"Another usefull thing you can do is control the volume of every |
83 |
application seperatly, even if the application can't do it on its own." |
84 |
|
85 |
It's the third sentence on the page. I'm not sure how you could miss |
86 |
that. I need new glasses and have one eye I'm almost blind in and I saw |
87 |
that. |

You may want to adjust your killfile. |
