However, it\u2019s easier to access the advanced sound settings in older versions like Windows 7.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re having trouble locating the volume mixer or volume control buttons for specific apps in Windows 10 and 11, worry no more. This post covers guides on adjusting sound and using the mixers on both operating systems.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll also show you how to get the sound control and mixer working if you\u2019re experiencing problems with them.<\/p>\n<h2>Commonly Asked Questions about the Volume Controls of Windows<\/h2>\n<p>Why has the Windows 10 Volume Control icon gone missing? \u2013 A lot of users complained about the Volume Control option disappearing from their PC. In most cases, this issue can be resolved easily. However, it will keep you from adjusting your sound volume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is Volume Control not opening in Windows?<\/strong> \u2013 Users also reported that they couldn\u2019t open the Volume Control settings whenever they clicked the icon. Don\u2019t worry because this is a common issue that you can fix easily, using one of the solutions below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I adjust the volume levels on Windows 10 if they are greyed out?<\/strong> \u2013 When the volume levels are grayed out, you will not be able to change them. We\u2019ve also provided a useful resolution for this problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I fix the Volume Control keys not working on Windows 10?<\/strong> \u2013 Many users prefer tapping the keyboard controls to change the sound volume on their computer. However, sometimes, the keys for controlling the audio levels can malfunction. This problem is typically caused by outdated or corrupted drivers.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to share various ways to adjust the sound levels on your Windows PC. Moreover, we will teach you how to resolve the common problems associated with the Volume Control settings.<\/p>\n<h3>Option 1: Using the Keyboard Buttons<\/h3>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to adjust the volume levels of your PC is to press the appropriate keys on your keyboard. Doing so will prompt the Volume overlay to appear on your computer screen. Keep in mind that this method only applies to you if you have the Volume Up and Volume Down keys on your laptop or keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Some Windows laptops also have a key for Mute. Pressing this key will prompt the Volume overlay to show up on your screen. You can use your mouse pointer to slide the volume level to your desired position.<\/p>\n<p>It all depends on your keyboard layout. For example, the volume control keys, including the mute button, may be housed under some function keys. In other cases, they may be integrated with the arrow keys. You\u2019ll have to use the <code>FN (function)<\/code> key to activate these buttons in most cases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/use-keyword-buttons.jpg\" alt=\" In other cases, they may be integrated with the arrow keys. You\u2019ll have to use the FN (function) key to activate these buttons in most cases.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>However, some modern computers come with dedicated volume keys and even sliders on the keyboard area.<\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5626105816785274\"\r\ncrossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Middle_CTA -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5626105816785274\" data-ad-slot=\"4017758677\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<h3>Option 2: Using the Volume Control Icon<\/h3>\n<p>You can also access the Volume Control icon to adjust the sound levels on your computer. Many users prefer this option because for them, it is the simplest and fastest way to change the volume of their PC. You can adjust your sound levels via the Volume Control icon by following these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the bottom-right corner of your taskbar, then click the <em>Volume Control<\/em> icon.<\/li>\n<li>A small window will pop up, and it will offer access to the volume level control.<\/li>\n<li>Slide the bar to set the volume to your preferred level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This may be one of the quickest and easiest ways to change the volume level of your computer. However, it is worth noting that it does not offer options for adjusting the volume for individual apps.<\/p>\n<h3>Option 3: Using the Volume Mixer<\/h3>\n<p>You can use the Volume Mixer to change the volume level of apps individually. This is useful when you want to increase the sound level of one program, then turn the volume down for another app. For example, you can get full audio experience from the game you\u2019re playing while still hearing the notifications from Skype sufficiently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, here\u2019s how to open the volume mixer in Windows 10:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the bottom-right corner of your taskbar, then right-click the <em>Volume Control<\/em> icon.<\/li>\n<li>Select <em>Open Volume Mixer<\/em> from the options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/use-volume-mixer.jpg\" alt=\"Go to the bottom-right corner of your taskbar, then right-click the Volume Control icon.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>A new window will pop up. Here, you will see the running applications and their audio levels. You can move the slider up or down for each app if you want to adjust their volume. When you change the sound levels for one app, you won\u2019t affect the audio for the other programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/check-sound-settings.jpg\" alt=\" Here, you will see the running applications and their audio levels. You can move the slider up or down for each app if you want to adjust their volume.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re running Windows 11<\/strong>, go to the taskbar, right-click on the sound icon, and select <em>Open Volume Mixer<\/em>. The operating system will redirect you to the <em>System &gt; Sound &gt; Volume Mixer<\/em> page where you can adjust the volume for specific applications.<\/p>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/access-audio-settings.jpg\" alt=\"If you\u2019re running Windows 11, go to the taskbar, right-click on the sound icon, and select Open Volume Mixer. \" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>Option 4: Opening the Sound Settings Page<\/h3>\n<p>The sound settings page is where you can control almost everything related to your system\u2019s sound. You can adjust your system\u2019s volume and choose your audio output device.<\/p>\n<p>You can use the Windows search button to access the sound page or go through the <em>Settings<\/em> application.<\/p>\n<p>Open the <em>Start<\/em> menu and type <code>sound settings<\/code>. Click on <em>Open<\/em> under <em>Sound Settings<\/em>. Alternatively, you can tap the <code>Win + I<\/code> shortcut, click on <em>System<\/em> on the <em>Settings<\/em> page, and select <em>Sound<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You can now use the slider under <em>Master Volume<\/em> to adjust your system\u2019s sound. If you want to change your output device, go to the drop-down menu under \u201c<em>Choose your output device<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Sound Settings in Windows 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Windows 11\u2019s sound settings page also provides the same functions. It allows you to choose your input and output audio devices. However, you can also access the volume mixer on the same page.<\/p>\n<h3>Option 5: Using your Driver Software<\/h3>\n<p>Another option for adjusting your volume levels is using a third-party software program. There are sound cards and audio drivers that come with their own volume controls. These volume controls are a lot similar to Windows\u2019 Volume Mixer. So, it will be easy for you to navigate through the features.<\/p>\n<p>Most third-party software programs also contain options for sound enhancements. So, if you wish, you can add different effects to the audio. Moreover, these tools come with equalizers that let you optimize the quality of the sound.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these third-party software programs also allow you to save different audio and equalizer settings. With a single click, you can switch between your various sound presets. So, if you are more tech-savvy and you prefer to fine-tune your audio, this option is ideal for you. On the other hand, if you are an average user who simply wants to have an audible sound on their PC, using the Volume Mixer will suffice.<\/p>\n<h2>Resolving Common Volume Control Issues<\/h2>\n<p>Many users complained about the Volume Control missing or malfunctioning on their computer. In most cases, this issue has something to do with outdated or corrupted sound drivers. One of the best ways to resolve this problem is by updating your drivers. You can perform this task manually, but the process can be time-consuming and even risky. You\u2019d have to go to the manufacturer\u2019s website and look for the right drivers compatible with your system version. If you happen to install the wrong drivers, you might harm your computer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_native left\" data-cta-type=\"native\" data-cta-position=\"bottom\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__top\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_native\">As such, we recommend opting for a more reliable and convenient solution \u2014  <a href=\"\/en\/software\/driver-updater\/after-download\/\">Auslogics Driver Updater.<\/a>  Once you activate this program, it will automatically recognize your system version.

My tech obsession began with chasing the smoothest gaming performance possible into various optimization rabbit holes. But that didn't stop me from dipping my toes in different ponds, as I've written for travel, human resources, and digital marketing publications over the past 7 years. I started out with a copywriting agency after pursuing a diploma in computer science. Since then, I've gone freelance, participated in different tech workshops, and found better ways to achieve peak gaming performance. I now enjoy pursuing the latest in computer technology, so I can tell readers when to hold their horses or hop on new trends. I also help people resolve the most frustrating operating system, gaming, and application errors. These experiences and the brilliant folks at Auslogics continue to enrich my articles and deepen my love for computers. You can reach out and follow me on LinkedIn to learn about the most exciting tech news and solutions when they drop.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samuel-mbanaso\/"],"knowsAbout":["Gaming","Windows","Sci-Fi","Politics","Android"],"jobTitle":"Tech Writer","worksFor":"Auslogics","url":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/author\/nzube-samuel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34075"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92637,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34075\/revisions\/92637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
