Any way to keep sound on when game is minimized or in the background?

[BlueGreen]

This has been bugging me for a bit. I have a second monitor that I regularly use to look up stuff while I'm playing, but every time I task out, the sound mutes while the game continues to run. I could pause it, but I actually don't want to most of the time. What I would like to know is if there's any alerts or combat I should pay attention to.

I don't see an in-game option for this, but I know not all options are exposed in the UI. Anyone know of a setting buried in some XML file or something for this?

If not, could this be something added to the game?

This has been asked for before, but I can't find any changes. I have a suspicion this may be more an OS sound device function than a game design decision.

I asked a dev and they advised as follows:
"There's a "-nosoundthrottle" command line parameter that does what he wants." That's the way you communicate what you want to happen to the OS.
