Windows 10: Set a default volume for launing programs

I know this has been asked before, but there wasn't an answer, so I'll ask as well. Is there any way to change the default volume of programs? My main volume is 4, system volume 0 it has noise otherwise, is that a Windows bug?, and I don't believe any application is higher than 6. Considering those settings it's obvious that the default volume of any new application is way too high.


How can I set the volume of new applications before they produce any sound. I'm on Windows 10, and obviously I know how to set individual sound levels for each application, but I don't know how to set them before they produce any sound, much less before I install them.

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?

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

 

Set a default volume for launing programs

Open Start, type: change sound card

Hit Enter

Select the Communications tab

Choose 'Reduce the volume of other sounds by 50%'

Or choose 'Mute all other sounds

Click apply then ok

Right click the volume icon in the Taskbar, click Open Volume Mixer

Individually adjust the volume for each app.
