per app volume

About this tag
Per app volume refers to the ability to control the audio level of individual applications independently in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Windows includes built-in tools like Volume Mixer and App volume and device preferences for managing per-app volume and routing audio to different output devices. However, accessing these controls often requires navigating through Settings or legacy dialogs. Third-party utilities such as EarTrumpet and Windhawk mods offer more convenient per-app volume control directly from the taskbar, allowing users to adjust volume by hovering and scrolling over app icons. These tools also enable per-app device selection, making it easy to route different apps to speakers, headsets, or HDMI monitors.
