    Access to Sound Slider in App Volume and Device Preferences Screen


    I use an app in Windows 10 named WSJT-X. This is an app for ham radio operators to communicate digitally and uses my sound card to generate a series of tones. However, after using this app for some time, I'm not getting the proper output anymore. I opened up the App volume and device preferences tab in Win 10 to see what was going on and noticed that when I'm running the app, the sound slider is not accessible. I took a screen shot of this see below. Any ideas as to why Win 10 is not allowing access to this sound setting? Thanks - Jim

    How to add desktop shortcut to App volume device preferences?

    Thanks. That script opens the Device Properties page for the Mic - see attached screenshot. Any idea how the script can be modified to open the App volume device preferences screen?

    How to add desktop shortcut to App volume device preferences?

    You can change the tab number on that script. In my case I've changed from 6 to 7 and worked.

    Sound: App Volume and Device Preferences Question

    Hey folks -

    My "search-fu" is a bit weak on this one and I haven't been able to find out whether someone else has seen and/or fixed this problem. First thing: I have multiple sound playback devices via a single USB connection into a mixer. It's 16 stereo playback devices and 16 stereo recording/line-in devices. All good. Those work fine.


    In the "Sound Settings --> App volume and device preferences" window, I have various applications set to use different playback devices via the aforementioned USB connection. When I make the change in the Settings window, all is good. The application (eg: Chrome) instantly starts using the configured device. If I quit the app and restart it sometime later, it begins playing its sound over the Default sound device. Even though the Settings window still shows it attached to a different playback device. I have to change it, and change it again, and it begins playing over the correct device.

    It's like Windows is forgetting that I've got the app assigned to device XYZ vs the default.

    Is there some interesting work-around/fix for this?

    OS is Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, 1809.

    Thanks!
