This is something that is achieved through new functions that the software giant is adding to the operating system. For most users, it has already become commonplace to use these multimedia contentboth locally and via streaming, from their desktop computers. Apart from work, in these times we use the PC to watch movies and seriesplay our favorite titles or listen to music.
Surely in your free time most of you use services such as YouTube or Netflix in a common way. Apart from configuring the screen to the most appropriate resolution, in this type of use the audio is also a very important part of the whole experience. That is why we must also take special care when it comes to manage sound and the corresponding volume when playing all of this.
The problem comes if we take into consideration that not all the programs and online applications that we use maintain the same volume levelThis means that we are constantly forced to modify this parameter, for example when we run a game, load a movie in VLC, or do video conference with a friend.
Depending on the application or platform that we have in the foreground and that we use, we have to adjust that Windows volume level, now adapt it to what we need at that moment.
Adjust the volume of each program independently
But there is a trick in the form of a function that you may not know and that will allow us to avoid these annoyances and improve our experience with audio. Basically with all this, what we want to tell you is that Windows gives us the possibility of adjust the volume level of each of the applications that we have running at that moment in the system.
This is a parameter that is also stored and so we can change between windows and always hear at the most appropriate level. It must be taken into account that the difference in volume between one program and another is considerable in most cases. To solve this problem with the sound we are going to use the function called Windows Volume Mixer.
To access this feature, we just have to right-click on the icon located in the inbox, to the right of the taskbar, corresponding to the audio. Here we will find an option that you may not have known about and that has this name, we are referring to the mixer.
Here all the programs running at that moment will appear accompanied by a sliding bar. This corresponds precisely to the volume level that we can set for each application independently. Thus, from now on we avoid surprises and having to be moving the volume general system every time we change programs.
