We already knew of its existence, but it’s only now that screenshots of the new volume mixer have leaked. After months of anticipation, Microsoft has finally released the latest version of the operating system, build 23493, which brings with it the long-awaited revamped volume mixer. Important, this is the development channel, so it is not available on the stable channel or for all users, so you will need to join this update channel if you want to test it.
This new version of the Volume Mixer brings a number of significant improvements that make it easier to control volume, audio output devices, and general audio functionality. Now users can access the volume mixer by pressing the key combination Win + Ctrl + V or by clicking the settings button next to the volume slider in the Quick Settings menu.
Separate volume by application without accessing hidden options
One of the main new features is the ability to adjust the volume per application, which is especially useful for those who want to control the sound level more precisely and without resorting to additional settings or third-party programs. Plus, the new switcher lets you easily change the audio output device and enable or disable spatial audio, like Dolby Atmos or Windows Sonic.
