:twisted: Is it possible to add a volume control to the arcade?

I've got a habit of playing Asteroids while listening to music on youtube, while wearing headphones, and the noise from the arcade is drowning out the music a wee bit.

I'm afraid this can't be done. Our arcade is more or less a simple catalog application. Volume control has to be added to each game and cannot be applied globally.

Thanks R.

Install a second browser, and turn sounds off in that (or in your original browser). Use that browser to use the arcade, and the other browser for youtube.

Might work ;-)

Or, this would definitely work, but requires a tad* more work:

Install VMWare or Virtual Box or Virtual PC
Create new virtual machine and install operating system of your choice
Disable or remove the sound driver in this operating system
Run a browser in this virtual machine.
Use the arcade with no sound :-) whilst you use youtube as normal
