Volume Mixer does not retain settings for individual applications.

Original Title: <Sound settings aren't saving on application close>
 
After the latest patch Tuesday, I've noticed that sound settings aren't saving the way they used to.  Before, when I adjusted an individual sound for an application, and then closed the application, the sound was set to the same level when I restarted the application.  That is no longer happening.  Is there something I'm missing that I need to fix to get the sound settings to stick?

Previously, when I set the sound level for an application, it stayed after I quit the application, and restarted it.  Even through reboots.

But now, if I set a application's sound level to, say, 10, and later quit the application, when I restart it, it's back up at 100.


I want my sound settings to save again.

Hi,

 

When you performed system restore, did everything work as expected?

 

I would suggest you to system restore to go back to before the updates were installed.

System Restore
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore

 

Then if the problem isn’t present, then install the updates from Windows Update one at a time to try to identify which is causing this problem to occur.
