    Windows 11 Volume Mixer not remembering sound levels for "SYSTEM SOUNDS"


    Brand new Windows 11 installation. Everything is up to date. Realtek Audio console is also installed.I'm experiencing the same issue as here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-11-volume-mixer-not-remembering-sound/d94a82c4-9501-4fb6-92a2-7acdccbbaf45I set System Sounds to 5% because they're jarring and annoying at max level. However, after sleeping the computer, the System Sound return to 100%.Is this expected behavior? Is this a bug?Please explain how to set System Sounds to a lower value and have it retain the setting. Thank you.

    Windows 11 Volume Mixer not remembering sound levels for "SYSTEM SOUNDS"

    Windows 11 Volume Mixer not remembering sound level for System Sounds. I usually set the 'System Sounds' volume level to 5% because I find them annoying but they reset itself to 100% after a restart or randomly while using the PC. I've seen other reports of this exact same issue on this forum and on Reddit and the responses are always the same generic answers like "install latest drivers", "roll back to previous driver", "run SFC /SCANNOW", etc.

    Since the launch date of Windows 11 I've been experiencing this problem on three different systems with totally different hardware configurations.

    In my main system I'm running Windows 11 Pro 2H22 (Build 22621.819) with latest drivers.

    Thanks in advance for any help to fix this issue.

  3. Windows 11 Volume Mixer not remembering sound levels..

    Anybody know how to fix this?

    I have to turn System Sounds down really low (about 10%) because of the way my system is set up with other volume levels. Otherwise system sounds are really, really, loud. It literally hurts my ears, and rattles my speakers!

    So, I'll set the System Sounds to maybe 8-9% in Volume Mixer and it's fine, but the next day when I switch on my PC it's back to 100% again.

    Then some days it might not revert to 100%, but other days it does.

    I don't know why, maybe it's when I change sound devices or something, but it's really annoying, and painful, and may well be damaging my speakers.

    So, does anybody know how to get Windows to permanently remember sound volume settings?

    Volume mixer system sounds doesn't work right

    After the Windows 10 upgrade, I have the same issue. With volume mixer opened, the system sound level is as adjusted. When volume mixer is closed the sound goes up to an annoying high level. (By example: User account control warning). The system sound volume
    setting is kept in the mixer, but when closed it is not interpreted by the system.

    I have Realtek High Definition Audio installed, and udated the driver to the latest available version 6.0.1.7571, but this has no effect.
