just wondering if you know (or if you know where I could find out) how to individually adjust wav source volumes in WindowsXP. In XP it has only one Wav volume control, and I want to individually adjust "computer beep" type sounds volume seperately to other wave sources such as a VOIP phone call audio output. Very annoying to have very loud computer beeps etc interfering with VOIP phone calls! Not to mention that you can't hear the VOIP phone ringing unless wav vol is at full setting!

as far as i know, there is no easy way to adjust audio volumes for different applications. there is nothing more irritating than when you are listening to a quietly recorded mp3 track, for example, and you hit the ceiling after being startled by a critical fault beep or whatever.
although these may not be ideal solutions, here are a few things to remedy the situation. one would be to disable systems beeps. the other would be to edit the sound files that contain these sounds and lower the levels permanently.
it would be nice if software designers would always include an instance-specific volume control on their softwares. however it has to control the volume the right way. one thing i have noticed is that in windows media player, if i decrease the volume, it doesn't effect other audio applications. however, if i adjust the volume in real player, it adjusts the master volume for all applications.
