Windows 10: Xbox Game Bar - Missing Audio Mixer

Hello everyone!

First of all, I am want to apologize for my english, it is not my native language.


Problem

The Xbox Box Game Bar Audio tab has no more audio mixer, volume sliders for various apps are gone in one day. I spot this 2 days ago, and so it is realy confusing me.






What I tried to do to solve this:

• Scan system for corrupted files:

1. sfc /scannow in safe mode - it shows some non-fixeble error
2. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth to fix image
3. sfc /scannow once again - corrupted files was finaly fixed
4. no effect

• Windows 10 Troubleshooting:

1. I tried to troubleshoot with Windows 10 Troubleshooting tab in Parameters
2. During this process Windows reinstalled Realtek Audio Driver
3. no effect

• Windows 10 autodownload drivers:

1. I deleted Audio device
2. I restarted system, waited until Windows download Audio Driver
3. no effect

• Deleted all Nvidia drivers and services because it install some audio driver (for HDMI I assume):

1. So, I deleted all of it
2. Installed new up-to-date version of driver with clean install
3. no effect

• Reset Xbox Game Bar app:

1. In Parameters -> Applications -> Applications and possibilities find the app
2. In advanced view tried to end app with button there - blue screen, no effect
3. Reseted app settings with button - no effect
4. Reseted settings + Fix button - app has been deleted
5. Reinstalled app from Windows Store
6. the problem is still there

I saw a couple of similar questions here, but there is no useful answers.

Is there anybody who saw that thing and know how to beat it?

Xbox Game Bar - Missing Volume mixer in Audio tab

Thank you very much for your response. I have executed your powershell command as per your instructions and then rebooted. I've also resetted Xbox Game Bar from "Apps & features", repeated the same steps twice and still no Volume mixer under Audio tab in Xbox
Game Bar. Any other idea?

 

Xbox Game Bar - Missing Volume mixer in Audio tab

Hi. I have a problem with Xbox Game Bar in Windows 10 version 1903. In practice, from about a week or so, i cannot see any Volume mixer under any device in the Audio overlay tab, preventing me to set or disable the audio from every background program while
i'm in a full-screen environment. I tried to uninstall/reinstall both packages (Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay and Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay) of the Xbox Game Bar multiple times, resetted Microsoft Store, cleaned cache files and folders but nothing changed. I
think that in the latest version of Xbox Game Bar the Volume mixer feature has been broken for good. I can still switch between audio devices but i cannot singularly set audio between background programs like before. Any idea?
