RS Games Volume Issue While On Facetime Call

Good morning to all, I thought I'd reach out to the group as I recently came across an issue while trying to play on RS Games while being on a Facetime call Now maybe those who are way more experienced with using a Mac probably already know of a solution.

While on a Facetime call, once I opened RS Games, I noticed that the RS Games volume was extremely low, low enough that I could barely hear a thing over my friends voices. After hanging up the call, the volume for RS Games came back to normal, but as soon as I rejoined the call, it went straight back down to barely being audible.

Now I tested this morning how the volume for RS Games would react when in a Zoom call, and the volume remained nice and loud.

Since I recently came back to the Mac, after being gone for a couple of years, I don't recall if there were settings that would control which application had priority with audio. Granted I never really played RS Games while on a Facetime call before, was wondering if anyone knew or had an idea where on the Mac I could focus on in order to fix this issue.

Any idea is appreciated. Thanks!

Audio gets ducked when on FaceTime, that includes RS Games and any other audio that might be playing at the time.
