Nah, it's never handled at all. I have to tab away from any game the first time I'm playing it, open the mixer (detailed windows volume settings), turn the game-specific volume down to 5-10%, then set the music as low as possible and crank up the other sounds. That's with the laptop's volume set at a comfortable level for non-game (DVD/BR, MP3, YouTube) sound set to full or nearly so.
