its fine ill just lose my hearing when launching your game while being unable to change the volume - forcing me to quickly alt tab, change program specific volume, and alt tab back before missing anything. latest example i put the game at 1% system volume and its still loud...
for reference, my entire system volume is set to 50% by default.
Might not help, but if the podcast has an RSS feed you can really easily open it in VLC instead of having it blaring in a browser. On the playlists screen, there's a Podcasts section on the left side that you can add them to.
I wish the VLC team was in charge of everything
