If you have two sound sources in the same application you can't do this on Windows. Music from SoundCloud and a video call on appear.in or similar, for example.

If you have two sound sources in the same application you can't do this on Windows. Music from SoundCloud and a video call on appear.in or similar, for example.
If you're using a Mac there isn't a system volume controller with adjustments for each application, only a single global control and software is expected to provide its own local slider. Literally every audio source I've encountered has one except for SoundCloud.
EDIT: Might be a bad example, I'm not sure if appear.in has a sound volume slider. But the point stands for every media player I've ever used, whether online or native.
- dexterdog 9y agoSo you're playing soundcloud while you're on a video call?
- djeikyb 9y agoyes. or playing a game. or listening to text (book, screenreader, etc). or using any number of programs where sound is part of the ux (like voice navigation, or bash).
- coldtea 9y agoYes. I don't care to stop/restart a background playlist while on a call, I just want to be able to hear the call.
- bjeanes 9y ago> If you're using a Mac there isn't a system volume controller with adjustments for each application, only a single global control True, but for those looking for a solution like this there are options. I personally use SoundControl 2[1] ($10) but there is also a free open source app[2] and a few other options out there.
