I don’t RECALL having this issue with windows 10, but…
Windows 11 Pro, just updated from Windows 10 Pro.
I’m using the speakers in the monitor, and they work fine. If I’m listening to a youtube webinar, I have the Windows volume set at 35 and that's usually fine with the Youtube volume all the way up or close to that. Or if I’m listening to NPR or something on iHeart radio, I’d leave the Windows volume set at 35 and adjust the volume on the stream to a comfortable level – usually about 40-50% on the stream.
BUT, originally, I couldn’t hear system sounds at all – new email would show up and I couldn’t hear any tone. I did a search, and found an entry that said go into Enhancements and set something – equalization maybe - and that made the system sounds louder. A LOT louder.
NOW, the system sounds are VERY loud.
Currently, I’ve had to turn the Windows volume down to 20, and for iHeart the volume on the stream is all the way up. The system sounds are OK, not too loud now, but if I switch and listen to a webinar on Youtube, I have to shove the Windows volume back up to 35 even with the Youtube volume all the way up, to hear the webinar – and then the system sounds are really loud again…….
I’m not SURE I could have figured out what to do in Windows 10, but I KNOW I have no idea what to do in Windows 11. I can’t even find the screen where it told me to go into enhancements…
How do I set the volume just for the system sounds WITHOUT screwing up everything else? I’d MUCH prefer to have the Windows volume at 35 and my various listening sources adjusted but I need to turn the system sounds down to a reasonable level. Kinda like Goldilocks (though I’m bald) – not to loud, not too soft!
