Windows 10: How do you set the default volume for new programs?

I keep my general volume pretty high because I have some apps that are pretty quiet normally, and when I download new apps they are all very loud. How can I make it so all new apps have a default starting volume? i.e. they all start at volume 20 even if my general volume is 50

Set a default volume for launing programs

Hi ^.^

Is there a way to set the default volume for new programs/games I launch (on for example 50% of the max. "Device" volume)?

I almost become deaf of launching most games or playing videos because I need to turn my volume up to 8 to hear Discord well. Other applications are more than loud enough on 6.

If not, can I write a program or script or whatever to change the volume to idk 60% of the maximum aloud value BEFORE the game or program I launch starts hurting my ears? What are the parameters I need to get and set the volume?

 

Set new audio device default for volume mixer in Windows 10

I use two audio devices:

• Default (audio) device "Realtec Digital Output (Optical)"
  
• Default communication device "Lautsprecher (Speaker)"
  

My goal:
I want to have the default audio volume on my default communication device, instead of the default device - at all times.

What I tried so far:
Changing the volume mixer to my communication device explicitly works temporary, but as soon as I close the settings window, the default audio volume is reset again to the default audio device.

Step 1: Clicking on volume shows me the default device:





Step 2: Changing the volume mixer to my communication device manually:









Step 3: Clicking again on volume does not keep the change





How can I make it permanent that windows uses my communication device for default volume control?

 

Set a default volume for launing programs

Thank you for answer.

I'm afraid I don't hear any volume reduction when I turn on the communcication setting. Youtube and games are still louder than the one I'm talking with.

Also I already adjusted the volume for each app. The thing is the program only shows up in the list when it's already producing sound, so that's already too late.

Except if I first turn the device volume down, then launch the app, turn down the app volume and turn up the device volume again for every single program I didn't launch before ofc. xd
