I've noticed when I change the volume in the config file to 0, all of the sound on my computer gets muted. That means If I want to play casually and chill to my music on iTunes, I can't do that without having these annoying war sounds on. I get that the surround sound is an important part of the game, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood to pay attention. Whats worse is that the muting continues until I start another game where the volume has been raised. I can leave the game and the music/sound wont come back until this option is changed in the config file and I've initiated another match.

I'm on Windows XP if that helps.

i get it too D: annoying when talking on skype :P
