Is it not easier to just adjust the volume of the other program playing your japanese TV/movies/songs... eg. media player/VLC/Youtube etc.

unfortunately the other media player was at its max and anki was still louder

... in vista you can control the volume of each application separately (under mixer).. but I don't know about other operating systems ...

I believe Anki uses Mplayer on windows, so just search for "mplayer.exe" inside the Anki folder. Create a file named "config" in the same place where you found "mplayer.exe" and put this inside:
Code:
[default]
volume=10
10 means 10%, so you can go up to 100 (the default) and down to 0 to mute mplayer.

You should be able to change other Mplayer options as well. E.g. this config file will result in 20% increase in playback speed without changing the pitch:
Code:
[default]
af=scaletempo
speed=1.2
It's easier on real operating systems like MacOS or Linux. Just edit "~/.mplayer/config".

Open it with an editor that handles plain text files.
