Was per application sound control dropped from vista? I am running vista home premium x64 with an external SB 24 Live audio card (I also have access to on board audio) and see no way to do per application sound control that was mentioned in the beta's.
Per app sound control

Hi pcmxa,
Left click on the speaker icon in the notification area of the taskbar (where the clock is situated) to bring up the master volume control. At the bottom is an option 'Mixer'. Click this, and all current applications running will have their own individual volume control available, as well as the master volume control and that for Windows Sounds. Each application can be separately controlled and muted from this panel. Of course, the settings on the master volume control affect everything else, and selecting mute here will mute everything else as well.

Can I broaden this slightly?
My problem is that when I adjust or mute the volume on the Media Center screen (or the remote control), it automatically applies the same command to the master volume control - ie ALL applications are affected.
Clearly, the (inconvenient) workaround is to use the Volume Mixer as you describe, but I presume that it was intended that the MC controls should ONLY affect that application. Is there a setting anywhere I can adjust to overcome this annoyance?
