  • Premiere turning down volume on my background apps (like spotify)

    Hey guys,

    Premiere wants to try and be helpful and turn down and music I might be listening to running in the background when I run it.

    For example if i’m listening to Spotify or listening to youtube, and I have the music at a comfortable level, when I open Premiere it will automatically turn down the music. I guess to help me edit and concentrate on what im editing?

    Annoyingly after premiere has turned down the spotify running in the background, the music is now far too quiet, so I turn it up, when I exit premiere or log on to chrome or my browser, the music reverts to its original volume (very loud!). Very frustrating as I like to take mini brakes and browse during editing.

    I’ve had a solid look through preferences to see if I can turn this feature off, but had no real luck yet.

    Does any one know how to disable the feature?

    Will

    I don’t experience this using Premiere under OSX. What is your machine and OS?

    Something to try….If you are on a Mac, check your App Nap settings for Spotify and disable them. Get info on the Spotify icon and check the box to Prevent App Nap. Also uncheck Enable Power Nap in the energy settings. Do the same for all your Adobe apps. Photoshop and Illustrator won’t have the settings in the info window, but all the video apps will.

    Hi Will, it’s been almost a year since this post and I guess you’ve already figure it out but anyways, for those who got this problem the solution is pretty easy (on windows 10): right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and click on “sounds” select the communication tab and select “Do Nothing” and that’s it!
