If you have several audio devices connected to your computer, then you are probably already tired of having to constantly switch between them and change their volume. In Windows 10, this can be done manually using the volume icon in the tray. But with the April OS update, there was a way to automate the process.

Right-click on the sound icon mentioned above and select "Open Sound Options". Scroll the window that opens to the very end and click on the "Device settings and application volume" button.

Here you can configure preferences for volume, audio output, and audio input for each application. It is also possible to select a standard audio source for system sounds and set their volume.

Opened applications are displayed below. Their sound level is a specific percentage of the overall volume you set, so don't be afraid to turn the sliders 100%.

But the main thing is that you can choose not only the volume of this or that application or game, but also the program through which it will play the sound. If you prefer to fight in Fortnite with headphones, then configure the system so that the game always outputs sound through them. And let Yandex. Music play in the background through the speakers at the other end of the room.

When you're done setting up, restart the apps for everything to work as expected.
