DayZ blocks Windows's media keys from working in-game
New, WishlistPublic

Description

When playing DayZ, background music players do not receive input from pressing Windows's media keys(play/pause, fb, ff). However, Windows receives VolUp and VolDown and adjusts Windows's volume accordingly.

This is also an issue with ArmA 2, but not with any other full-screen game I have played.
