Windows 10: Chromium problems with Volume Mixer

Build 21H1 19043.1052 I've noticed a problem that's only started happening recently. I usually set my installed Browsers to 50% of the Master Volume in the WIndows Volume Mixer. This has been fine for years but now both Browsers have begun resetting themselves back to 100%. This does not happen in Firefox. I've seen from another user that the same happens with Mic input as well as sound output. Could someone confirm that they see the same behaviour? Open Chrome or Edgium and play Youtube/Other Media. Go to Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound/Adjust system volume Adjust Browser to custom setting less than 100%. Close Volume mixer and Browser. Repeat first two steps. Did the volume setting return to 100%? With Firefox being unaffected i'm assuming this is a Chromium not Windows issues. That would be a shame as it would mean there's little that can be done here to fix it. It would be good to know if everyone is seeing the same behaviour though. Thanks.

Volume Mixer not showing muted app

The application was muted on Windows 10 with November update. Now I am using Anniversary update, on build 14393.10

The initial step did not help make Banished show up in the Volume Mixer, nor did the article.
