Windows 7 Volume Mixer Question

For headphones, when I set the volume for a specific program (game), it doesn't stay saved after unplugging the headphones. I unplug in the headphones (mainly for gaming) so I can play audio through my speakers. I refuse to use Stereo Mix because it sounds horrible through the headphones. Any suggestions?

have you use the Realtek audio solution?

 

when the moment you plugged your headphone to the jack it will sense the device and have a pre defined volume control

 

after you unplug and replug

 

 

it should be the same volume

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I'm sorry but I'm confused. Is it something in Realtek that may be causing the issue?

Yesterday, I was thinking about what you said and decided to tamper with the Realtek software in hope sit would solve the issue. The only option that I can adjust is the volume slider at the bottom left (besides the balance). The volume slider was maxed, so I lowered it and then maxed it out. I then ran a game, adjusted the volume through the mixer with in Windows, closed the game, unplugged the audio jack, plugged it back in and ran the game. Apparently that was the solution... volume I adjusted saved for that game alone. I wanted to make sure so I plugged the audio jack and rebooted the computer. No issues, the volume mixer is working as intended.

 

Sum: Apparently tampering with the volume slider within Realtek solved the issue. Perhaps it's a coding issue where not touching the slider in acts as a reset when adjust any slider within WIndow's mixer. Yeah it sounds like nonsense but that's how it feels.

 

Was that what you were referring to earlier? Only wondering because maybe I did something else that may have solved it without paying attention. I wanted to make sure in case I run into this issue in the future or maybe someone is going through the same problem and the solution doesn't work.

 

EDIT: Can't screenshot because my headset is unplugged and I'm at work. This screenshot looks similar except the only thing I can adjust is just the volume slider and the balance at the bottom left, nothing else. The main volume slider is what I tapered with.
