    Volume shortcuts suddenly adjust system sounds instead of overall volume


    I had originally set up the volume shortcuts on my Ducky One 2 keyboard and in SteelSeries Engine (for my mouse) and they worked as expected to adjust overall volume level until about two weeks ago when they started adjusting only the system sounds volume level. I didn't change anything in these two pieces of software, so I suspect it may have been from a Windows update? I also have a Logitech K400 keyboard, and the dedicated volume keys there still adjust the overall volume. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have an idea where I can look for a solution?

    Whats the Keyboard Shortcut to Adjust Volume?

    Old thread appeared in searching for solutions how to set keyboard shortcuts to adjust Windows 10 volume. Dalchina's helpful pointers lead to finding yet another suitable up-to-date free app by grandmaster Nir Sofer : View / change sound volume on Windows 10/7/8/2008 from command-line or GUI

    Step 1: Fire up SoundVolumeView and find your sound device by selecting (un)mute with right mouse
    Step 2: Go to File menu> Create Desktop Shortcut> select Increase and select Decrease Volume 5%
    Step 3: Right click each shortcut> Properties> Shortcut to set preferred hotkey. E.g. + and - on numpad
    Step 4: Right click each shortcut again> Properties> General and tick Hidden - Apply - Ok

    Voila! Hopefully helpful to someone sometime (Y)

    Can't adjust the alarm volume

    Currently there is no way to adjust the volume of the alarm clock sound. Even with GDR2 installed.

    All i can suggest is for you to choose an alarm sound that isn't so disturbing.

    I do agree though that the ability to adjust the alarm volume should be there along with the ability to have separate volume controls for other aspects of the phone's sound system.
