Can't change Tracks when playing Games!

[gate1975mlm]

:mad: When I play games and play music in the backround I can not switch tracks or move the Volume on my keyboard. I can only do this when I go back to the desktop. I am using the latest build of Quintessentail Player! I do not have this same problem with Winamp. Can this be fixed?

Yep, I've got the same problem as well. In some cases (Monkey Island 1 & 2) the playlist does not even progress to the next song if I don't Alt & Tab. Yet this is not universal, in some games (ut2k4 for example) there is no problem, I can switch tracks and alter volume too.

Yeh i've had this problem too, but only with certain games. For what its worth, i've found the global hotkeys in winamp don't work in certain games either, like battlefield, which seems to hate all global hotkeys...
