Depends on the game and the situation. Back when I used to play Counter Strike and RTS games like Command & Conquer a lot I used to switch the in-game music off and listen to whatever was on my Winamp. Nowadays I always have music on, expect in games where there is none, in which case I just listen to the plain sound effects.
Now, I do sometimes still turn off the music (or most likely just mute the whole game) and listen to streams or Let's Plays in the background. Like, for example, when grinding in Pokémon or some other RPG.
I think the last time I lowered a game's volume so I could listen to other music was back when I bought my first PS3 and downloaded Super Stardust HD on it. Techno tracks during a hectic game feels nice. I should do that again soon.
