    Prevent User From Mute Audio Output on Windows


    I'm looking for a solution to prevent my users to mute the audio output on a Windows computer.From the GPO, I can disable the access to Control Panel and prevent the user from changing the Sounds Setting. But my user still can change the volume to zero and mute the audio via the Windows 11 sound icon and keyboard mute button.

    :)

    Win 11 - Audio Mutes below a setting of 12.

    Hello.

    I am having a problem with the audio from my PC where when the windows volume is reduced below 12 the audio output mutes completely.

    I use a Digigram VX 222e sound card to provide balanced audio for my studio monitors. The issue also exists when I use the application provided with the card where at a certain point the audio mutes. Below is a list of information I can give but I am not sure if any of it will be helpful.

    PC info

    Win 11 Pro

    Build 22621

    Mother board ASROCK x570 Steel legend BIOS Version P3.90

    Ryzen 9 5900X

    16 GB ram.

    Sound card info

    Digigram VX 222-Mic (PCIE)

    Driver (Digigram) 5.12.0.4301

    Other info

    Using Digigram App it mutes below output level of -42dB so I am assuming that -42dB = 12 in windows and -52dB = 10 in windows.

    Attenuation jump is large from -42dB to -52dB (previous steps 2dB).

    Input level to the card from applications has no impact on the level that the output mutes always mutes below -42dB. Range -6 dBfs to -108dBfs.

    App that provides the audio source makes no difference.

    Things I think might help me.

    Can I change the size of the attenuation steps in windows? currently

    .5 dB steps from 0 dB to -25dB

    2 dB steps from -25 to -42

    10 dB steps from -42 to -82

    7dB steps from -82 to -96dB

    Can I change the attenuation range in windows for example make -42 dB output level = 0 in windows.

    If anyone know what I can try that would be appreciated

    How to prevent Windows 10 unintentionally create additional Audio driver ? Zoom fails to direct output to USB headset

    At my last use of Zoom, another Audio driver was, unknowingly to me, created which probably caused no sound output to my USB　headset during Zoom even though I used Windows 10 GUI kept switching Output to USB headset.

    How to :

    1. prevent additional driver created?
    2. alert myself additional driver created ?
