About this tag
The tag 'app volume and device preferences' covers Windows 10 and Windows 11 features that let you control per-app audio volume and choose which output device each application uses. Topics include using Volume Mixer to adjust individual app levels and setting specific devices like speakers, headsets, or HDMI monitors for different programs.
