Audio Device Switching in Win10 FCU

[iamjsed]

Hi All,

 

I just recently updated to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update via clean windows install.

 

Does anyone know how to re enable this?

 

Now, if I click on the sound icon in the taskbar, I get the classic mixer

I'm on the fall creators update, I don't have the classic mixer. Do you have some program that would've enabled it somehow?

Not that I am aware of, I just did fresh installed windows not even 3rd party drivers when I noticed this.  But now I have re installed all my drivers and apps and its still there.

I couldn't tell you man. I don't see any reason why that should be enabled.

Open up the registry editor, and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\MTCUVC

If MTCUVC doesn't exist inside the CurrentVersion key, right click CurrentVersion and click New > Key, and call it MTCUVC.

 

Then, right click on the MTCUVC key, and select New > DWORD (32-bit) value.

Call it EnableMtcUvc, double click it, and set its value to 1.

 

Log off, and log back on again. You should now see the Metro-style volume control, as you had it before. Just personally verified this on my Windows 10 FCU system.

 

If you're confused, here's how things should look when you're finished:

Great to hear. Not heard of this issue randomly occurring after an upgrade, but glad to know this worked.
