Hello all,
I am hoping you guys can help me with a small issue. I recently bought a second monitor and I am loving the accessibility and ease of use. However I would like to get the sound on the second monitor so I can adjust the sound while I am in game so I do not have to ALT+Tab just to turn music up or down. I am using windows 8 and any help is great! Thanks!
 


You are running MUSIC at the same time as the game?

My method wouldn't help then as it just affects overall volume.

*The only thing I can think of is to drag the MUSIC program over to the second monitor, then move the cursor over to that to change the volume.

However, I don't use multiple monitors so I'm not sure how to get the cursor to NOT be locked to the game monitor with a game running. It's probably possible.

**Would it be possible to try using a 3.5mm audio splitter and input audio to your desktop speakers on the same cable that your sound from PC is using?

I've never tried that but it sounds possible, then just adjust the audio from your audio device (phone, iPod).
