Is there a way to turn down the volume of the music not the sounds?

Is there a way to turn down the volume of a song that is playing using the play MUSIC behavior without effecting the volume of the play SOUNDS behavior? Basically my sound effects can not be heard well enough over my background music. I can take the aac file and edit it in a music editor, but it would be nice if you could turn down the music.

I am assuming the volume control under devices controls all sound?

    Here's what the wiki says "This attribute modifies the volume for Music files only" (in reference to the volume control under the audio devices). But I'm still not sure if this means all sound or just aac files. Does this turn down my ogg files in my sound behaviors?

    umm...

    What does the audio attribute actually do? I set it to 0 and nothing changed about my game at all.

    I just saw that today. seems to work for the scene preview and if you change the Volume attribute in game.

    Where do I go to do that? And does it turn down the overall volume or the volume of the music or of the sounds? catch my drift?

    I really would like a way to make my background music quieter so my effects can be heard better. I can always just redo the background track and make it a quieter audio file but would be nice in a future release if there was a volume control in the play music behavior like there is in the play sound behavior.

    The Devices attributes Audio -> Volume. It is only for music files. i.e. stuff used by Play Music, Stop Music, Pause Music. i.e. .aac and .m4a music files.

    Sound files are not affected. (the .ogg files)

    wat about mp3's? i know this is an old thread but when i adjust my music to "0.3" it stays the same on the device. in the preview however it DOES change. but why not on the device?

    Closed. Make a new thread if your are having audio issues. There is no need to bump an old thread when the issue is almost certainly not the same.
