To access the volume mixer in Windows 10, click the small search icon (magnifying glass) in the bottom-left corner of the screen and search for “adjust system volume”.Īt this point the Volume Mixer looks almost the same as in Windows XP. To access the Volume Mixer you have to click on the small volume icon from your taskbar. In Windows Vista, 7 and windows 8, the Volume Mixer is capable of managing sound settings for each multimedia application installed on your PC. In Windows XP the only feature of the Volume Control was to increase or decrease the general system sound level. The new application brings to Windows much more flexibility regarding the sound management of the different applications you have installed on your PC. The old Volume Control from Windows XP was replaced in Windows Vista, 7 and 8 by the Volume Mixer.
