What I do is right-click on the speaker icon beside my clock, and choose Open Volume Mixer.
Then I just turn off the sound on City of Heroes with the mute button below it.

Interesting. I hadn't seen that before Roderick. Is that new with Vista or 7?
I know I never saw it in XP listing all of the running programs, but I'll double-check a system at work tomorrow to make sure it isn't there.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Hmm, yeah, that is slightly faster than using the in-game options, thanks!

Odd. As many times as I've opened that window I've never seen applications listed there, only inputs.

The inputs aren't in the window I showed, they're in the next two - Playback Devices and Recording Devices (which used to be a combined menu item called Playback & Recording Devices)

This is what I see. Where do I find your version?
EDIT: Is it because mine is called "volume control" and yours is called "sound mixer"? You apparently get a different program in your systray.

Hm. I wonder if it's based on sound card/drivers and varies from one company to another. All I know is that, for me, that option has always been there.
@Roderick
I have always had Creative SoundBlaster sound cards.

what OS are you using? I've had that one, before, Aggie - but not since upgrading from XP to Win7

Although both those options bring up the same window - just a different tab highlighted.

Later than Win98, which is what Roderick claims to have been using this method since.

Hi Guys,
I also see the version Roderick sees.
I am running Win 7 with the generic sound card.
I see at the top:
VOLUME MIXER - SPEAKERS (REALTEK HIGH DEF AUDIO)
I also have never noticed all this before but I also cannot remember the last time I ever opened that icon so it could have been there since the start. I have never modded this PC in any way.
Cheers

I never looked at it in Vista and hadn't in 7 until yesterday.
And it hasn't mattered what sound card I used (and I've used several doing testing over the years).
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
If he was using that in 98, 98SE, or XP, then I'm thinking he had a tweak.

Most, if not all, of the video cards I've had for the last decade or more have been Realtek as well. But from what TJ said, that may not be the source.
I've never deliberately installed any form of tweak or OS add-on that created that window. However, it hasn't always looked the same as that, so possibly the earlier versions weren't part of the OS (as I had assumed) but rather some add-on I didn't even know I had.
@Roderick
So I don't think this exists but I figured I'd ask here in case I missed it. Is there a slash command that can be used to set the SFX and music volumes? I ask because sometimes I like to watch video streams (like the coffee talk) on my second screen while I play and setting up a bind or macro for muting the game volume would be nice.
