So does anyone else have a problem with spotify and starcraft, every time I have spotify and sc on, after the first song my in-game sounds mute and music stops. When I check spotify, it says something about a problem with my soundcard.

Am I the only one? If not how could I fix it?

i play SC2 and use spotify just fine, maybe try running spotify as an administrator or something.

that usually solves obscure problems.

I've had some problems with spotify stopping when running full screen programs, although I've never tried using spotify while playing sc2. Maybe try running the game in windows mode?

No problem running Sc2 and spotify on winxp.
Also, since when did Spotify get available in Kyrgyzstan?

Edit: Try updating your soundcard drivers, Windows and DirectX.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I allways use spotify while playing sc2. No problems. Only "issue" I have is that while watching replays I can't use mediakeys on the keyboard

Spotify works perfectly while using SC2 for me, reinstall your sound drivers and see if the problem persists.

What exactly is Spotify? Is it a program? Is it like Last.fm or Pandora? How does it work?

Perhaps it's a setting within Spotify regarding how it treats audio output from other applications while it's outputting audio.

Does it happen with any other applications or just SC2?
