    System Sounds volume resets to max default value Win10 2004


    Hello,

    since the 2004 update I have this issue the volume of system sounds resets to max value of the speaker. Every other app so far is working fine. Only System Sounds has this issue.

    The following I've tried does not work at all:
    -Set the volume via the volume mixer
    -Set the volume via the new Windows 10 settings menu
    -Tried to not only lower the volume, but also to mute it
    -Uninstalled and reinstalled speaker driver
    -Disabled the exclusive mode, where apps can control the speaker

    Workarounds that do work, but is not a real solution:
    -Open and never close the volume mixer -> System Sounds will stay with the volume I've set
    -Set the theme to "no sounds" -> System sounds at least is muted

    So in total this is a really annoying issue. I've not had this issue in 1909, so please fix it again.
    BTW: I'm not the only one who has this or similar issue:

    "System Sounds" slider in volume mixer Resets to Max Volume when notification happens.

    Also, while in that "App volume and device preferences" I went ahead and tried the "Reset to the Microsoft Recommended Defaults". All that seemed to do was, max out all 2 sliders (Master Volume) and (System Sounds).
    No effect on behavior.

    It still resets to max volume upon notification, but only when the "App volume and device preferences" window is no longer open. (just like the mixer)

    If the "App volume and device preferences" windows stays open, the "system sounds" volume does not max out upon notification.

    "System Sounds" slider in volume mixer Resets to Max Volume when notification happens.

    the system sound volume stops maxing out and other system sounds remain at an acceptable volume, but I stop hearing all notification sounds, including the ones I want to hear (just more quietly), hence my idea about editing all the sounds to be quieter even
    at max volume.
