Game client music and invite alerts

  I ought to be able to turn off the game client music and still hear invite alerts.  I mean sure it's got a good groove and you can dance to it and all.... but I should have a choice if I want to listen to it or not.. (EDIT...and still hear invite alerts.)

  Also, invite alerts should sound different than when some on the friends list goes active/inactive.

  I think that turns the lobby music back on as well :-(

  I miss lots of invites because of this also and believe they should be seperated :-)

  oh, another thing :) - wouldn't it be lovely if we could see what 'type' of game a blue/ready player is wanting.  Apparently only the player that selects a blue game type knows that.

  Gmaster - thanks for taking the time to respond and the graphic...it's appreciated, but when you mute the game you mute everything and can't hear invite alerts.

  I wasn't very clear in my original post, my bad -

  I should be able to hear invites when I turn the Client Window music off, like this... (menu/game settings/audio)

  

  Even in this configuration, with the "Invitation Alerts" checked, and with the music volume slider full down....You can't hear alerts (bold is for WGT) -

  With the "Invitation Alerts" checked, I should be able to hear invite alerts no matter what setting the music is on.

  Invitation Alerts should also be a slider, rather than just on/off.

  i wonder if leaving sound on at the top and moving all the sliders to the left yet leaving the invitation aleart sound on will do the trick?

  trub is - i think we still hear the same sound for friends going green or whatevs

  you were very clear, and so was I :)
  if you watch this circle and arrow in the picture,
  you'll see that it points to the music note, which is a shortcut
  for the music volume slider that shows in the picture you've added.
  I didn't know it kills the invitation chime too, because I mute that as well,
  since it's notoriously known to be a meter assassin.

  if there is a way to separate them i haven't found it ! my one real complaint and the reason i hardly ever go green any more .... and yet you still can hear birds and airplanes with just the game client open even though i turn both down ...
