So I've always had this problem, but I had always figured it was relati= ve 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 cont= inue 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 ra= m-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-p= review.

I had thought for a long time, it was just the keyboard I was using, and ma= ybe 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 steppin= g up, it rolls the volume up nice and smooth. Problem is, even this functio= n, 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 anoth= er application and adjust my volume there, but that only helps if I'm c= omputing a RAM-Preview, and it continues to compute it. =A0If i'm focus= ed 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 &quo= t;Windows Thing" or something the AE team couldn't replicate on Wi= ndows because of how windows handles sound or something.

Thanks in advance,
