Continuing on from my previous post about the non apparent UX improvements in Vista...
Noticed a little hyperlink called Mixer at the bottom of the volume control (..access it with a single click on the volume icon in systray)
Gives you access to this fabulous dialog box.
It shows you all open applications that are capable of making a sound. It allows you to use the left most control (Speaker/head) phone to decide the over all volume. And then allows you to control the relative volume of the rest of the applications)
Watching a cricket match on an illegal site :) without commentary yet want to hear a speaker on live meeting without the new mail to ring a bell while allowing MSN messenger to ping you?
Beautifully done...
BTW. Post number 100. Many many thanks to everyone who has participated with bricks and bouquets, blogs and comments.
Thanks

I like this, the other improvement that I found on this was that it superimposes a frequency line on the volume control if you are playing something :)
Loved this one!
