Windows 10: Volume mixer not muting applications

When I want an app to not play any audio, I go to the volume mixer and set its volume to zero. However this is not muting the app anymore, and when backing out of and re-entering the volume mixer, the volume is set to somewhere lower than the previous setting, but not zero.When first opening volume mixer:Setting volume to zero audio still plays, just quieter:After closing and opening volume mixer:

Volume Mixer not showing muted app

The application was muted on Windows 10 with November update. Now I am using Anniversary update, on build 14393.10

The initial step did not help make Banished show up in the Volume Mixer, nor did the article.

 

Muted Application Missing from Volume Mixer

Hi Rodrigo, thanks for the reply！

Sadly it doesn't appear in every device in the volume mixer and not in the "App volume and device preferences" while letting it produce sound.

I've also tried uninstalled and reinstalled the application but it doesn't work too.

 

Muted Application Missing from Volume Mixer

Hi 蓬蓬,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

If the app is not showing on the volume mixer, check if it shows when you select another device on the volume mixer.

If you still can't see it, go to Settings > System > Sound, under Advanced sound options, select App volume and device preferences, you will see the list of all apps that reproduce sound, if the app does not show on the list make it play any sound (even muted), and see if it appears on the list.
