fullscreen application blocks messenger sounds

Every time I start a fullscreen application , I do not get any notices or
rings from Live messenger .
Under "Extras - options - status" I unchecked it, but the messenger remains
silent.
The sounds do work though when i'm on the desktop with the fullscreen
application running still in background.

Greetings,

This is actually a feature and unfortunately you can't change it.
