    Volume Mixer upon click


    After noticing a tutorial published by Brink for reverting back to the old windows 7 master volume and volume mixer I wondered if it would be possible to change something so that when I clicked the volume system icon, I got the volume mixer right away and not the master volume bar.

    I know it is possible to make a shortcut using "%windir%\System32\SndVol.exe -t " as a target and I also noticed running SndVol.exe from system32 seems to open the mixer as well. It looks like windows puts a -f flag onto SndVol.exe when you click the system tray icon.

    As posted by Brink
    This allows windows 10 to somehow use the old master volume and mixer but I can't seem to locate where windows applies the modified -f flag when clicking the system volume icon. I did notice however, when you then click on the "mixer" link the sndvol.exe relaunches with this as its parameters "​SndVol.exe -r 77463382 0 {0.0.0.00000000}.{5fc3904c-eda2-46fb-b353-10e266407892}"

    I think that registry value is pointing at what hardware profile is being used (Speakers / Headphones, etc.) in the mixer when it launches but I'm not sure of anything right now, heh. Here is an image showing that https://i.imgur.com/IFlgA9n.png

    I have been digging threw my registry for the past hour or so and I was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction.

    - Thanks in advance and thank you Brink for helping so far Volume Mixer upon click :)

    When I right click on the volume symbol and click on troubleshoot, and then it tells me to open volume mixer

    Original Title: Volume Mixer (Windows 10)

    Okay, so when I right click on the volume symbol at the task bar, and then click on volume mixer, it wont pop up. However, when I go to the task manager, it says that the volume mixer is running, but for some odd reason I cant see it.

    When I right click on the volume symbol and click on troubleshoot, and then it tells me to open volume mixer (through troubleshoot), it opens, but I can't seem to open volume mixer without needing to click troubleshoot in order to open the volume mixer.

    Help please.

  3. How to disable separate sound configuration?

    Thanks for the information. We recommend adjusting the volume of the application or the system sound using the Volume Mixer. Right-click the volume in the taskbar to open the Volume Mixer.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.
