Separate audio volumes for videos when viewed in menus versus viewed in fullscreen?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I was curious if there was a setting for something oddly specific I'd like to do, or if there is a way to make it work.

For my Bigbox setup, I prefer to have background music playing when in menus instead of game/video audio. I do this by using the "Prioritize Soundtrack Music over Video Audio" option instead of reducing the Video Volume to 0% (I have it at 65%). It works as I'd like it to, with the video of the game being displayed silently with uninterrupted music.

What I'm curious about though, is when you select "View Video Fullscreen" in the game details menu, the fullscreen video is mute. This is because of the above "Prioritize" option that is enabled. If I disable that option, it works as it should- the video plays audio when browsing games and when in fullscreen. The issue with my configuration is it then plays over the background music which can be distracting. I was wondering if there was a way to make it so the preview video could have sound only when viewing the video in fullscreen. That way, I'd be able to have a silent video when browsing games, then have audio when the video is in fullscreen. I've attached a quick capture of my setup to help demonstrate what I mean.

If there is a way to do this, I'm not sure how, but any and all help is very much appreciated!
Thank you!
