Ever since I built my new system I've been having trouble with the
Orange Box engine (the 'old' mods/Ep2/Portal/Gmod build) messing with
sound on my system. If I connect to a server or open the options window
of a multiplayer game, Source will:
* Pause or unpause Windows Media Player.
* Slide its own volume down (the Windows sound mixer slider, not the
internal setting) over the course of about half a second to nearly
zero.
* Reduce Spotify's volume in the same way, but not pause it.
When I exit it restores volumes to their original levels and
pauses/unpauses WMP again. To reiterate, this only happens when the
engine is in MP mode (maxplayers > 1). It doesn't happen with the Ep1,
OB-TF2 or L4D branches. It also wasn't a problem on my last computer.
I've got MS Intellitype installed, but since Spotify isn't paused I'm
unconvinced that global hotkey commands are behind this. Can anyone make
a better suggestion?
