Windows 10: System Sounds

When I right click the speaker and click the sounds tab.

This what I get (see screen shot).

Clicking it doesn't make it bigger.

Loud system sounds

Hi. Having the same problems with windows 10 and a external sound card connected via usb. Almost blew my loudspeakers with systems sounds a lot louder than music played.

Inactivated device and after that was able to use troubleshooter to reinstall usb sound device, efter that the volume mixer seems to work. At least so it seems, havn´t restarted pc yet though.

Loud system sounds

It is "Windows notifications".

To put it another way, it is Notifications From or through !#$TWing Windows 10.

1. The user did not ask for these sounds to be loud;

2. Microsoft has arbitrarily decided to make them loud.

3. Microsoft has provided NO clear way to mitigate the obnoxious, overdriving loudness of "notifications".

4. If these suddenly are no longer considered to be "System sounds", then provide a mixer category that permits clear and obvious control of these irritants.

 

Hello Don, *Smile

It appears that the Sound window may be off-screen. If so, you might see if using the method in the tutorial below can drag it back on-screen.

Thank Brink for your replay.

My only question is where is the taskbar icon?

Thank you Brink, *Smile

I'd ruled out the mouse because I just changed the mouse.

Looks like I had two bad mice.
