serayha Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Lately I've been doing things, mainly play runescape, with ETTV running on the side for watching. Unfortunately, as soon as I click away from the ET window the sound from it is gone. Sound is there when ET is in fullscreen, minimized, but as soon as I click somewhere else (aka select another window), ET mutes itself, and unmutes when I select (click on) it again. Is there any way around it? Because watching games without sounds is pretty boring lol. I'm running Windows 7 64bit if that helps. I've tried googling it, but I haven't found anything related to this problem yet. Looking at audio settings also gave me nothing; also tried forcing ET to "always stay on top". I'm not good with computers so I might be missing something very obvious here PS If you don't understand what the problem is, imagine listening to music in a music player, and as soon as you open other window, say internet browser, music stops. Thanks for ye help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroy666 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I don't think that's possible, at least keeping 2 applications' windows focused at the same time for sure isn't (which one would receive for example keystrokes then?). So you need to find a way to play the sound when the game window isn't focused, can't think a way to do it for ET (probably impossible too), no idea for other games, try to look in their options.

Smirre Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Got to agree on that. ET is a old game, which supports only that it runs somewhat reasonable way Cant think of anything else than the application side settings or somehow via windows "priority" settings, but i still think it is the application that handless these things (like youtube on browser, winamp etc...et isn't on that list?)

Micha! Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Get a second monitor and problem will be solved I just can agree on the other posts. Windows is going for a another application so it mutes ET and ET goes in backround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serayha Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Found a way around this. Installed another Windows on a virtualmachine (with Virtualbox), so it runs it in a separate window, and it thinks that ET is in fullscreen and selected, so I get the sounds all the time. Thanks a lot Damien for this idea, it actually worked x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
