Event Viewer Audio logs

Hello,

I have been trying to look for audio logs which can show me when the device (PC/Laptop) was muted, and when the volume status was changed. In Event Viewer, both Windows>System and Application and Services Logs>Microsoft>Windows>Audio none are visible for the mute actions.

Anyone know where I can find these logs, or the event statuses/timestamps?

I did find someone else looking for the same in 2016 but I could not find an acceptable solution anywhere.. (Redirecting)

Thanks in advance!
