Sound sources not showing up in volume mixer / app volume controls setting main volume

Hello again,

I am still having the same issue. Here are the steps I have taken so far:

* Tried windows media player. Result: it works as expected, generating its own entry in the volume mixer.

* Tried updating the sound drivers in device manager. Result: they were already the latest ones.

* Uninstalled the sound device and drivers in device manager and then reinstalled the drivers on reboot. After reboot, I again checked the driver status, but it the latest had been reinstalled.

* Tested the netflix app, netflix in edge browser, amazon video in edge browser. Result: As before, there is no separate entry in the volume mixer, and the app's volume slider only affects the master volume of the sound device.

Did I miss any suggestions?
