Windows 10: My Volume Mixer just ignores any volume mixing and only allows me to mute the entire...

Unfortunately there isn't a error for this but All I can do is send a video of me showing what the problem is because for some reason i can not send photos or screenshots and another problem i have is that Windows just kind of removed the sleep button and I no longer have access to bring it back and only put my computer at "Hibernation"I tried to : Restart my computer multiple times Troubleshooting the Audio Look up solutions Nothing worked.

How can i get the volume mixer sound for a particular game if it's muted from volume mixer

OT- Sound Issues

Since programs are only listed in volume mixer if they are "making sound", and you mute it from volume mixer, how can you get it back as listed on volume mixer because if it's muted from volume mixer then it won't make sound for volume mixer to identify
therefore you can never get it back, but I need volume for the game I'm playing. Is there a way to get it to reappear even though it's permanently muted? I've been searching for an answer but it's all saying to make the program make noise so it registers,
but it's muted from volume mixer, so how do I get it to make noise??

 

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.

 

Volume mixer not muting applications

Hello, Callum Fitzgerald

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Firstly, thank you very much for the screenshot.

If you are experiencing problems with Volume Mixer not muting the application as expected, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:



1. restart the application:

Sometimes, the volume settings in Volume Mixer may not take effect immediately. Try closing and reopening the application you want to mute to check if the volume is muted.



2. Restart your computer:

Simply restarting your computer can help resolve a temporary software glitch. After restarting, check that the volume mixer is behaving as expected.



3. Update audio drivers:

Outdated or incompatible audio drivers can cause a variety of problems, including volume mixer issues. Visit your computer manufacturer's or sound card manufacturer's website to download the latest audio drivers for your system. Once installed, check to see if the problem has been resolved.



4. Reset sound settings:

Resetting the sound settings on your computer can often resolve audio-related issues. To do this, right-click on the volume icon on the taskbar, select "Open Volume Mixer", and then click on the speaker icon in the bottom right corner of the Volume Mixer window. This will reset all sound settings to their defaults. Then, check that the Volume Mixer is working as expected.



5. Perform a system file check:

Corrupted system files can sometimes cause problems with the Volume Mixer. To check and repair system files, open a command prompt as administrator and run the following command: SFC /SCANNOW This process will scan and repair any corrupted system files that may be affecting the Volume Mixer.



If you can't recover your Volume Mixer with the above method, you can check if this happens with other apps open and in use, you are welcome to share the problem with us!
