    Hi
    Can someone tell me if I can control the volume on the alerts? Like my email alerts and messenger alerts separately without lessening the master volume.

    I don't think that is possible - all alerts pass through the sound system and changing the volume on that will obviously change the volume on all, including any other music output.

    However - just musing on this - it may be possible to re-record the sounds at a lower initial volume and use those recordings instead of the normal .wav files. I'm no sound engineer - hopefully someone on the Board has such aspirations :)

    Hey
    Thanks Pete, recording at a lower volume worked.
    That's Great :)
    The recorder has a decrease volume option, opened file and decreased then saved.
    Thanks
