Problem with sound while playing video game

I have a creative x-fi platinum pro sound card and I have a problem when i play World of warcraft. In the game the sound works great but the problem is that if I would want to play some music while in game, such as through itunes, I cannot. The in-game music pretty much takes over any other sound I may want to have. For instance, my friend and I want to use X-fire to communicate in game but as soon as I start the game it completely shuts off any sounds that are transferring through x-fire. I have used x-fire in the past for playing team fortress 2 and everything works great with that game, just not world of warcraft. My specs of my sound components are listed below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sound card: creative x-fi platinum pro
Speakers: Logitech z-5500, connected though optical audio
