One of my testers has reported that the volume of sound effects compared to music in my game is too loud. I haven't really noticed this myself, or at least I've noticed the sound effects are louder but not uncomfortably louder, so I imagine it's an issue with how the windows volume control is set for the user playing the game. Still, I was wondering, if there is any way in-game to control volume of sound in TGF, be it a standard TGF feature or by way of a plug-in. If the latter, do you know where a plug-in can be found? I can't seem to find them online anymore... I tried playing with the 'mixer' object but it didn't really do anything. Peace - Joee n/a

As in, controlled by windows, and unfortunately if your friend is running vista then the volume control for midi has been removed. n/a
