Windows 11 Simplifies Sound Management for Your Computer and Apps

The audio settings menu can now be accessed from the keyboard.

In the new version of Windows 11 Insider Preview, a redesigned quick sound settings menu has appeared. The new interface still allows switching between speakers and headphones, and now offers two new features: spatial sound control and volume settings for individual applications separate from the rest of the system.

Additionally, Microsoft has finally allowed opening the sound management menu from the keyboard. Simply press Win + Ctrl + V simultaneously instead of aiming for the desired icon on the taskbar.

It is still unknown when this feature will make it to the stable build of the system. If testing reveals no issues with the new menu, the release should not take long.
