Windows volume control can not control zwift volume (always max)

Bugs and Support
1

Hello,
I’ve noticed a problem with zwift (I still have version 1.80, I haven’t received 1.81 yet).
On my Windows PC, when I’m riding without headphones, Zwift’s volume is always at maximum on my laptop’s speakers. If I have spotify running in the background, lowering the volume (either with the volume slider on the bottom right in windows, or with the shortcut buttons on my laptop) will indeed lower the volume of spotify, but not at all of Zwift, which remains at full volume. Once the volume reaches 0, Zwift is muted. But the only options I have are either full volume or no sound. I could adjust the volume in the zwift settings, but the aim is to be able to change the volume easily while I’m riding when I need to.

Do you have the same issue ?
Any idea how to solve it ?

My laptop is running Windows 11.

Thanks a lot

Have you tried adjusting volume just for Zwift? Like in this example:

Thank you, this tip works.
But it’s still not very practical when you need to change the volume while you’re riding (when your wife asks you to turn it down because the sound of Ride on bothers her ^^).
It could be great if it worked using the laptop’s shortcuts (which change the overall volume).

Thanks
