How to Change the Volume Level of Different Applications in Windows Vista

The first step in changing the volume level of different applications is to access the volume control panel in Windows Vista. As the speaker opens, it's playing a song quietly. To demonstrate the functionality of the volume control panel, we'll open another application, such as a web browser, and play a YouTube video simultaneously. This will showcase how the volume control panel can adjust the volume levels for multiple applications at once.

To access the volume control panel, simply left-click on the speaker icon in the system tray, which is located in the bottom right corner of the screen. Once you click on it, you'll see a window that appears to change the overall volume of your system. This is referred to as the master volume, and it controls the volume level for all applications running simultaneously.

However, if you want to adjust the volume levels for specific applications only, you can use the mixer button in the volume control panel. To access the mixer button, simply left-click on the speaker icon again, and then click on the "Mixer" tab. This will display a list of all the available audio devices and their corresponding volume levels.

For example, let's say you want to adjust the volume level for Skype, which is ringing at 60 volume or 50. To do this, simply scroll to the right until you find the Skype device in the mixer window. Once you find it, you can adjust its volume level by dragging the slider up or down. If you want to increase the volume of Mozilla Thunderbird, which is receiving an email notification, you can click on that device and adjust its volume level accordingly.

It's worth noting that some applications may have their own volume control panels, such as Firefox, which allows users to turn off the sound altogether. In this case, simply closing the Firefox window will stop any sound from playing through the system speakers.

Another useful feature of the mixer button is the ability to adjust the volume levels for multiple devices simultaneously. For example, if you're watching a YouTube video on your computer and also listening to music on an external speaker, you can use the mixer button to adjust both the volume levels at the same time. To do this, simply left-click on the speaker icon and then click on the "Mixer" tab.

Once you've adjusted the volume levels for all the applications you want, you can use the slider in the master volume window to adjust the overall system volume level. This will affect all the applications running simultaneously, so be careful not to turn up the volume too high!

In addition to adjusting the volume levels of individual applications, the mixer button also allows users to change the default audio device for their computer. To do this, simply left-click on the speaker icon and then click on the "Mixer" tab. From there, you can select which audio device you want to use as your default device.

The final step in changing the volume level of different applications is to save any changes you make to the mixer window. This will ensure that any adjustments you've made are preserved for future use. To do this, simply left-click on the speaker icon and then click on the "Save Changes" button.

In conclusion, the mixer button in Windows Vista provides a convenient way to adjust the volume levels of different applications running simultaneously. By using the mixer button, users can easily change the volume levels for individual applications or adjust the overall system volume level. With this feature, users can customize their computing experience to suit their needs and preferences.
