<title>Changing the sound volume for individual applications</title>
27
<p>You can change the volume for one application, but leave the volume for others unchanged. This is useful if you're listening to music and browsing the web, for example - you might want to turn off the volume in the web browser so sounds from websites don't interrupt the music.</p>

<p>Some applications have volume controls in their main windows. If your application has one of these, use that to change the volume. Otherwise, click the <gui>sound menu</gui> on the <gui>top panel</gui> and click <gui>Sound Preferences</gui>. Go to the <gui>Applications</gui> tab and change the volume of the application there.</p>
