Sound in the background option

31 votes

I'd like to keep listening to the game while I'm alt tabbed and waiting for the other person to take their turn.

This is also valuable if you have a more "complex", software based sound setup, where you're trying to mix sound levels. Need to be able to hear the sound while tabbed out. I'm sure streamers would appreciate this.

Hello. Not only is the background music important when I put it on the game tray, but also when I use two screens and the 2nd screen becomes active. (In single player mode, while waiting for other players, I usually browse the web on screen 2.)

I understand the request, just definitely make it optional please. I only use 1 screen and I don't like games that keep audio on even when not in focus.

Im playing with a slow friend and i wanna hear when my turn is ready. Maybe even put the game in focus when its your turn, like in dota when the game is ready after being in a queue. The game is bringed to front,.
