Multiple windows and audio

from Stardock Forums

ModernMix, the only issue I have right now is when play for example the Netflix App unless I keep the window active the sound is there but if I chose to pen another program or other app on desktop the audio turns off. The video continues to play but no sound. When I make the Netflix App window active the sound comes back

 is there anyway to fix this so if I have Netflix open in a window and working on an office doc the sound remains enable for the Netflix app

Currently the NetFlix app is designed to only play audio when it is the foreground application, but we are looking into a solution for this for future updates.

Other apps like the Youtube player app are designed to continue playing audio when in the background and they would work fine in that scenario.

Well that explains what I was going to ask. Different app, same sound loss when it looses focus >.<

I have the same problem with the default "Video" App, which I quite like but I was never able to use it due to it being a Modern App. I wish it could have sound when not focused.

ModernMix 1.05 beta offers the option to make background applications play sound even if they were not designed to.
