Windows 10: Volume Mixer doesn't save individual app settings after system power off in Windows 11

I use the volume mixer to route audio through a program which enables me to change volume for groups of apps together rather than individually or needing to change the whole system's volume. The problem is that every time I turn my computer off and turn it back on all the settings for each individual app reset to the default input and output devices. The system devices remain what I set them before, but each app Discord, Teams, Vivaldi etc. go back to "Default" rather than remaining whatever I had set them to prior to shut down.For additional context, I'm using a BEACN Mic and its accompanyi

Volume mixer

The volume mixer is a very valuable control for many using the windows platform because you can individually control the volume of each individual application.

I have a few questions:

1. Why was the volume mixer hidden in windows 10 behind the right click of the speaker? What about the mixer button under the volume bar in windows 7?

2. Why don't windows store apps appear in the volume mixer?

3. Why are some system sounds exempt from the 'System Sounds' volume bar?

4. Does Microsoft think it is a good idea to let applications control their volume themselves?

Thanks

 

Volume Mixer won't save settings

Hi,

Looking for some suggestions.

The volume mixer won't save settings, at least for system sounds. I'm trying to have it saved lower so it doesn't startle me when I get a new Skype message. Anyway, I keep setting it and it just reverts back as soon as I close the window. Is there some registry
thing I can check? I've had a couple of problems after a reinstallation of the operating system following a warranty repair. I can do some investigating if you give me some instructions. I appreciate it.
