When I am using FaceTime, volume on youtube and iTunes is muted.

I found that these steps helped me to hear other volume sources better on my macbook:

- Once on factetime Go to the "Facetime" option (top left) then clicking "Services" then "Services Preference"

-Next search "sound volume" in the search option

-Once there you can control the volume under the "output volme" to your liking

Hope this helped! 🙂

wake up apple , wake up apple , this is big issue, facetime shuts off other application volume while using facetime????? since Maverick came out we have this issue and apple done care even few update came already for Maverick but no one care about that issue..... thank you so much apple to care of your customer... such a shame....

please dont answer if you dont no what is question ....

Has anyone figured this out? This is so stupid. How can long-distance couples do things like watch movies/shows together and also have facetime on? It is only Mavericks that is having the problem. Has Apple fixed this yet?
