| So I've always had this problem, but I had always figured it was relative to the keyboard I am using. Basically, when I run a ram-preview, or an audio preview in AE, and I need to adjust my audio level during that, if AE is the foreground app, it ends up killing the preview. For years, working on a Mac at my previous employers, you could simply tap the audio up and down buttons at the top of the keyboard, and AE would continue chugging along with whatever it was doing. This worked well when I had volume setup that was too low, and needed to push it up a bit while the ram-preview was playing back. For whatever reason, on PC / Windows, tapping any key on the keyboard kills the ram-preview or audio preview.. even WHILE it's computing the ram-preview. I had thought for a long time, it was just the keyboard I was using, and maybe a switch out to a better one would help. I just got a new keyboard which includes a volume roller/wheel, instead of an actual button.. it's a nice analog feel instead of digitally stepping up, it rolls the volume up nice and smooth. Problem is, even this function, in Windows, will stop the RAM preview or audio preview. Does anyone know if there's an easy fix to this? I can Alt+Tab to another application and adjust my volume there, but that only helps if I'm computing a RAM-Preview, and it continues to compute it. If i'm focused on AE, and do anything volume specific, my previewing just stops, or the computation of the preview stops.. Any help would greatly be appreciated, but I'm expecting this is a "Windows Thing" or something the AE team couldn't replicate on Windows because of how windows handles sound or something.
