In short, when I'm playing a HL2 mod, the audio from external programs is drastically reduced. I've only noticed it in this game, but the change shows up in the volume controls like so:

So, given that's showing up like that, I would assume that's it's a system setting but since I've only seen it in one game, it seems like it's a setting in the game. However, my google-fu has not succeeded in finding any answers to this.

Some other, maybe relevant, information: The volume is cut down in VLC, as shown in the image. It's running in fullscreen on a secondary monitor. The game, Fistful of Frags 2.6, is run in windows mode on my primary monitor. Also, FoF is muted in the volume controls intentionally.

Has anyone come across this before?

I dunno...

But I noticed moving from XP to 7 that speaker output is significantly lower in 7 than it was in XP

I can't test that right now, but mine was set to reduce by 80% which seems in line with the actual effect. I'll be able to give it a try in a few hours.
