You can set the Preferred Input and Output device on an App by App Basis. NOT IMPRESSED ARE YOU? Of course not, because while that's a lovely feature it's not the hidden power I'm talking about. You can set the volume in active apps on an app-by-app basis. See where it says "Change the device or app volume?" Ok, now DRINK THIS IN. You can also get to it from the regular Settings | Audio page: There's a page that does double duty called App Volume and Device Preferences. Hit the Start Menu and search for either "Sound Mixer" or "App Volume" What? I know this OS like the back of my hand! Nonsense!

Very "prosumer," which is me, so I dig it.Ī little birdie said that I should also look closer at Windows 10 itself.
That's at least three different "scenarios" for my audio setup. I need to switch audio devices a lot as I'm either watching video, doing a podcast, doing a conference call, playing a game, etc. I recently blogged about an amazing little utility called AudioSwitcher that makes it two-clicks easy to switch your audio inputs and outputs.
