The problem
Windows sound settings make simple things slow
Changing where one app plays, or swapping from speakers to a headset, means digging through Settings pages that forget your choices.
Three pages deep
Per-app devices sit in a Settings page most people never find, and switching outputs takes several clicks every time.
Windows forgets
You send an app to your headset, then a restart or an update quietly puts it back on the speakers.
Meetings move your mic
Video-call apps "auto-adjust" your microphone level, so you sound too quiet or too loud in the next call.
Swap, swap, swap again
Headset for the call, speakers for music, the TV for a film: each change means opening sound settings again.
Drivers and hooks
Some routing tools install virtual audio drivers or hook into streams, adding complexity and trouble with games.
Hotkeys that stop working
When a device gets a new ID after a driver update, the shortcuts and setups that pointed at it often break.
Vow Volume Mixer fixes all of it.
How it works
See it. Click it. Done.
Every device and every app that makes a sound, in one window that lives in your tray.
- 01
See every app
Your output devices appear as cards, with every app that has made a sound below them, each with its own volume, mute and live meter.
Every app's volume and output device in one window - 02
Pick its device
Click a device card to make it the default, or choose a device in an app's drop-down to send just that app there. Calls can follow too.
Every app's volume and output device in one window - 03
Save it as a profile
Keep the whole setup, devices, volumes and where each app plays, and switch back to it in one click, from the tray or with a hotkey.

Features
The sound control Windows should have built in
For gamers, remote workers, streamers and anyone with more than one pair of speakers.
Every app, one window
Volume, mute, left/right balance and a live level meter for each app, plus master volume and meters for every device.
Each app on its own device
Spotify on the speakers, Teams on the headset, a game on the TV. Microphones work the same way on the Recording tab.
One-click switching
Click a device to make it the default. Calls in Teams, Zoom and Discord can follow it, or keep their own device.
Hotkeys everywhere
Ctrl+Alt+F12 jumps to the next output, even in games. Unlimited adds mic mute, device and profile keys, and volume of the app in front.
Profiles that switch themselves
Save devices, volumes and app routes as a profile, and have it switch on when an app starts or a device is plugged in.
Keep app devices
When Windows forgets where an app should play after a restart or update, Vow puts it back.
Lock a volume
Lock your mic level so meeting apps can't keep "auto-adjusting" it, or lock any app's volume where you want it.
Lives in the tray
Left-click to open, middle-click for the next output, right-click for every device, profile and mute.
Your names, your devices
Give devices nicknames, hide the ones you never use, play a test sound or check your mic live.
No drivers, no lag
Uses the same Windows audio controls as Settings: no virtual driver, no stream hooks, no added latency and no administrator rights.
Light & dark theme
Easy on the eyes, day or night.
Volume Mixer comes with a crisp light theme and a calm dark theme. Switch with one click, or let it follow your Windows setting by itself. It remembers your choice.
- LightClear and bright for daytime and busy offices
- DarkGentle on tired eyes late at night
- Follow WindowsChanges by itself when your PC does

FAQ
Questions about Volume Mixer
Is Vow Volume Mixer free?
Yes. The full per-app mixer, one-click output and microphone switching, the tray menu, the "next output" hotkey, volume locks and one profile are free, for as long as you like. You can also send apps to their own device 5 times a day. Unlimited, a one-time $4.95 USD payment, removes that limit and adds Keep app devices, unlimited auto-switching profiles and every hotkey.
Can different apps play on different speakers or headphones?
Yes. Pick a device in an app's drop-down and that app plays there while everything else stays on the default. This uses the same per-app setting as Windows' own sound settings (Windows 10 version 1803 or later). Some apps only move the next time they start playing, and the app tells you when that happens.
Does it install an audio driver or add latency?
No. It uses only the audio controls built into Windows, the same ones the Settings app and Sound control panel use. There is no virtual audio driver and no stream hooking, so there is no added latency and nothing for anti-cheat software to object to.
Do the hotkeys work in games?
Yes. Hotkeys are system-wide, so they work in games and full-screen apps while the mixer sits in the tray. "Next output device" (Ctrl+Alt+F12, which you can change) is free; Unlimited adds every other hotkey.
Can it stop Zoom or Teams changing my microphone volume?
Yes. Open the microphone on the Devices page and lock its volume, and meeting apps can no longer "auto-adjust" it. You can lock an app's own volume the same way too.
Why does Windows forget which device an app uses?
Windows sometimes drops per-app device choices after a restart or an update. With Unlimited, Keep app devices notices and puts each app back on the device you chose.
How is it different from EarTrumpet, SoundSwitch or Voicemeeter?
It brings per-app volume and devices (like EarTrumpet) and tray and hotkey switching with automatic profiles (like SoundSwitch) together in one window, and adds Keep app devices, volume locks and device matching that survives a new device ID. Unlike Voicemeeter, it needs no virtual audio driver.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. There are no ads and no bundled software, nothing is uploaded, it needs no administrator rights, and it uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
