Music volume dims as sound on browser plays

Title says it all. I'm playing music through iTunes, and say if I'm playing a flash game on Firefox, the music in iTunes will dim when there is a sound playing from the browser. It's quite annoying, and I can't find where to disable it.
I'm running Windows 7, on a Acer Aspire 3375z laptop with the newest version of both iTunes and Firefox. Well, the newest versions that were available to download yesterday.

Going to try and explain my situation a bit better.
Say I'm playing a game, or there is a sound playing that resembles a heart beat. The heart beats, then there is no sound, then beats again. Well my music from iTunes, is quieter when the heart beats, and goes back to normal volume when there is no sound playing from my browser.

No sound in any website since going to firefox 4.0. volume is up, sound is on, plays in dvds, games, not firefox

No sound in firefox since upgrade to 4.0. Sound is ON, Volume is UP, mUte is NOT ON. Sound plays in games, CDs, DVDs, but not ANY website. Need to get sound on in web or go back to earlier version of Firefox

Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

When I burn a slideshow from wondershare fantashow the music is to loud even when I play it on the tv and turn the tv down the music burned on the dvd is still too loud and has a vibrating sound like too much volume.

Hello does anybody know about wondershare fantashow for mac? when I burn a slide show to a dvd the music is too loud. then when i play it on my tv and turn my tv volume down the music on the dvd is still vibrating too loud. How do I adjust that in fatashow before I burn it to dvd? thank you

Hadn't heard of it before today!
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music.

After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music (iphone speakers or headphones). I get sound from games, previewing songs in iTunes, etc. Any idea why? I've resynced and shut down my phone and that didnt help.
iPhone 4

Beer,
is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
because i am facing the below issue in my car.
the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Why on firefox browser on videos i cant hear sound it just playing and just gone.

Why on firefox browser on videos i cant hear sound it just playing and just gone. The sound dissapearing on all videos. Please help me i tried some solutions but it not fixed. Thank you.

Did you check the volume setting in that Flash Player?
Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.
*Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage: Local Storage Settings
**Remove a specific domain: Local Storage Settings by site
**Remove all domains: Delete All and Delete Data
Flash Website Storage Settings panel:
*http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
Global Storage Settings Panel:

You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

No sound or sound bar when playing music or watching videos

Hi,
I have recently been having a problem with the sound on my iphone 4s. The volume buttons do not control the sound (the sound icon appears but nothing happens) and when im watching vidoes or playing music there is no sound bar. The sound effects ( sliding to unlock and texing noises) come and go as well.
I can hear sound with earphones in though and the speakers do work on the phone as the phone still plays different ringtones in settings and on loud speaker calls.
please help.

After restart, reset, the next steps are restore from a backup, or restore as a new device. See this support document about restores. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If a restore does not solve the problem, the next step is an appointment at the local Apple store Genius Bar to have the hardware checked.

The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos. Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik. Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not. Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

The sound doesn't work. It's set appropriately in settings, the volume is turned up all the way with the side buttons, but no volume. When we try to play songs, it acts like it's going to play and then goes back to the play list. Restored and still no

Hey Kirby17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Play music through my surround sound

Can I play music through my surround sound from my Galaxy S5. On my Motorola Razr I had a micro HDMI port that I used to mirror my phone screen and listen to music on my TV and surround sound system. Can my Galaxy S5 do this? Do I need an adapter and what is the model # I would need?

there's an adapter walmart carrys it either in store or online its made by ONN it plugs into your charging port and converts it to a full size hdmi. ONN makes them for a few different kinds of phones so make sure you get the galaxy s5 1
