Adjusting the volume and changing the system sound settings on Windows 10 has always been a straightforward process, but you were only able to manage them using Control Panel.

However, starting with the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, you can now manage speakers and microphones settings, and it's also possible to adjust the volume on apps and system sound individually using the Settings app.
In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through the steps to change the sound settings using the new options available starting with the April 2018 Update.
How to manage Windows sound options using Settings
To set your default output speaker, adjust the master volume, and fix common sound problems, do the following:
- Open Settings.
- Click on System.
- Click on Sound.
The Sound page includes two sections separating the output and input options. At the top of the page, you'll find your output options.
Using the Choose your output device drop-down menu, you can quickly change the speakers you want to use as the default.
You can also click the Device properties link, which opens additional speaker settings using the Control Panel experience:
- General -- You can enable or disable the speaker and access audio driver information.
- Levels -- Allows you to adjust master volume and balance settings.
- Enhancements -- Includes settings to enhance audio with special effects.
- Advanced -- Allows you to change default sample rate and bit depth.
- Spatial sound -- Includes the options to use Windows 10's spatial sound format, including 'Windows Sonic for Headphones' and 'Dolby Atmos for Headphones.'
Similar to using the speaker icon in the taskbar, on the Sound page you can also change the system master volume with the slider.
You'll also find a Troubleshoot button that starts the audio troubleshooter to fix common sound problems automatically.
How to manage Windows microphone options using Settings

To set a microphone as your default, test if it's working, and customize its properties, do the following:
- Open Settings.
- Click on System.
- Click on Sound.
Under 'Input,' you'll find the options to configure your microphone.
Using the Choose your input device drop-down menu, you can quickly select the microphone that you want to use as your default.
You can also click the Device properties link to open additional microphone settings using the Control Panel experience:
- General: You can enable or disable the speaker and access audio driver information.
- Listen -- Lets you allow or deny the microphone to listen to your speakers, and you can customize power options.
- Levels -- Allows you to adjust the volume and balance settings for the microphone.
- Advanced -- Allows you to change default sample rate and bit depth.
The Input section also includes an indication to test if your microphone is working, and if it's not, you can click the Troubleshoot button to open the microphone troubleshooter to fix common problems.
How to manage sound settings from the taskbar
Alongside the new Sound page in the Settings app, you can still adjust the master volume and access sound settings from the taskbar.
Starting with the Windows 10 April Update, the sound context menu has been updated with a new modern look, and now it also includes quick access to the new Sound settings and removes the 'Recording devices' option.
You'll notice that the 'Volume Mixer' is still accessible, but it'll eventually go away as these settings can now be found in 'App volume and device preferences' page.
How to manage advanced Windows sound options using Settings
The new Sound settings also include a number of advanced options to control volume and input and output devices. (This experience replaces the Volume Mixer, which is still available in the April 2018 Update.)
To access and customize app volume and device preferences, do the following:
- Open Settings.
- Click on System
- Click on Sound.
- Under 'Other sound options,' click the App volume and device preferences option.
The first thing you'll find on this page is the slider to control the system master volume and adjust all sounds. On the right, there are two drop-down menus to select the default speaker and microphone, which are the same settings that you can customize in the Sound page.
At the bottom of the page, you can adjust volume for specific apps and system sounds as a percentage of the master volume.
Alongside the ability to change the volume for apps and system individually, this page also allows you to select the default output and input device if you have multiple speaker setups and microphones.
If you want to revert all your changes, you can use the Reset button to roll back to Microsoft's recommended sound settings.
Wrapping things up
Although the April 2018 Update finally ports the sound options to the Settings app, you'll still need to use the Control Panel experience to change more advanced properties. However, eventually, those options are also expected to move in some form to the Settings app.

You have bought a brand new speakers for your PC or a set of expensive headphones but are not getting the bass that you hoped you would, then the problem is not with your headphones, problem is in the Windows PC settings. You can easily change the audio driver settings in Windows 10 to boost the bass to enjoy the booming sound coming from your headphones or PC speakers. This setting exists in the stock audio drivers that Microsoft supplies with Windows 10 (also with Windows 8.1 and Windows 7). The setting could also exist in manufacturer supplied audio drivers, for example, in the Realtek HD Audio drivers.
Here is how you go about boosting the bass in Windows PC:
![Balance Balance](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123708343/349272354.png)
- Right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select Playback devices from the right-click menu.
- Select the Speakers from the list (or any other output device for which you want to change the setting) and then click on the Properties button.
- From under the Enhancements tab, select Bass Boost checkbox and then click on the Apply button.
- The default bass settings work very well, but you can click on the Settings button to change the frequency and the boost level for the Bass Boost effect.
If you have installed the manufacturer supplied device drivers, then the steps may be a little different. For example, if you have installed the Realtek HD Audio device drivers, then the third and fourth steps would be like this:
- From under the Enhancements tab, select Equalizer checkbox and then choose Bass for the Sound Effect setting. Then click on the Apply button.
- In order to manually change the frequency range boost, you can click on the ellipses button and open a tiny equalizer window from where you can change the boost levels for various frequency ranges.
Even though these settings do make some difference and really boost the bass, in order to really notice the difference you have to use high quality headphones like the ones manufactured by Sennheiser or Philips.

My daughter, who is deaf in one ear, likes to watch movies and listen to music on her iPad. On long road trips or while she's in the same room with her little brother, she uses headphones. But she uses them a bit differently than most.
Instead of playing audio to both sides of her headphones, we set it up so that all audio is redirected to her left ear. Both iOS and Android let you adjust the audio volume balance between the left and right channels as well as enable mono audio to ensure no sounds get lost in the process.
iOS audio balance
In iOS 9.3, head to Settings > General > Accessibility. Scroll down to the Hearing section and you'll see a slider for left/right balance. Move the slider to the side where you would like to increase the volume level.
For many audio sources, stereo sound features different sounds and levels in the left and right channels. With mono sound, you'll hear the same sounds in both channels. Above the volume balance slider on the Accessibility page in Settings is a toggle switch to enable Mono Audio.
Android audio balance
You'll find these audio settings in a similar place on Android. On Android 4.4 KitKat and newer, go to Settings and on the Device tab, tap Accessibility. Under the Hearing header, tap Sound balance to adjust the left/right volume balance. Below that setting is a box you can tap to check to enable Mono audio.

For owners of the Samsung Galaxy S4 (or later), a setting called Adapt Sound gives you even greater control of your audio output. Not every music app supports the feature, but it does work with Samsung's built-in music app and Google Play Music.
To set up Adapt Sound, put your headphones on and find Adapt Sound in the Sound section of Settings. It will play a series of beeps and sounds at different frequencies, similar to a hearing screening you might have experienced in school growing up. You answer whether you can hear each sound, and the app will then adjust the strength of certain tones and frequencies to help you in areas where you may be deficient.
My settings
For my daughter, we enabled mono audio and moved the balance slider all the way to the left, which is her good ear. If you move the volume slider to one side without selecting mono, you lose any audio that is specific to the other side.
A good way to check your volume balance settings is playing the song 'Money' by Pink Floyd. In the beginning of the song, the cash register sounds pan back and forth between the left and right channels.

Smartphones have a very good feature related to maximum volume of the device. Android phones give a warning if the user is increasing volume beyond a certain limit. The warning is that if we keep on increasing the volume beyond that limit, it may hurt our ears. This feature is seemingly non-existent in Windows 10. But there are various ways by which we can achieve the same target by setting a maximum volume limit in the Operating System.
We will discuss achieving this with the built-in sound tool as well as using third party apps. Let’s start with the built-in tool.
Quick Summary
- 2 Setting volume limit using third party tools
Adjusting volume using Built-in Sound Tool
Go to Control Panel –> Sound –> Speaker –>General –>Balance.
You can balance the Left and Right speaker according to your desire or requirement. This isn’t a perfect solution but it can solve your problem up to some extent. If your problem will not be solved you can switch to below mentioned software to control Maximum Volume Limit.
Setting volume limit using third party tools
Sound Lock
This is the amazing tool that can lock the sound for your system as u set the limit for it.
After installing, its icon will be available in Task Bar. You can click on it to “On” the Sound Lock and set the limit for your sound. There is some setting available for this software. You can change them according to your requirement.
You can choose channels to control the channels through Output devices. If you don’t want to make it enable, you can switch it “Off” anytime you want.
Quiet on the Set
This is free App for Windows. It’s very cool in working. Of don’t let any user to exceed from certain limit which is pre-defined bu user.
After selecting your desired limit, you can lock it. So whenever user crosses that limit, this App won’t let that user to cross the pre-defined limit.
It also gives you option for setting password, so that no one can change the sound limit which you set. This App will provide you best solution hopefully. You’ll try and you’ll love to enjoy it. One thing that seems to be missing in all the above solutions is that we can set a time range in which this setting can be enabled. If this could be achieved using any app or trick, it would become the perfect solution. Do you know of any utility which can do both, set maximum volume limit and set time range in which the volume limit applies?
