Do you find yourself frequently using the Volume Mixer on your Windows 11 PC?
If so, you can save a little time by pinning it right to your Taskbar so you can access it with a single click.
I know it isn’t that difficult to access the Volume Mixer in the traditional ways, but one-click access is really nice when you need to open it on a regular basis.
Sound good? Here’s how to add the Volume Mixer to the Taskbar on a Windows 11 machine:
1 – Click the Start button and type sndvol.
2 – Right-click on SndVol and select Open file location.
Note: The “System 32” folder should now be open on the screen.
3 – Scroll down the list of files until you find the SndVol file, then right-click on it and click Pin to taskbar (you might need to click Show more options first.
That’s all there is to it. You should now have a brand new icon for the Volume Mixer right on your Taskbar. Just click that icon when you want to open the Volume Mixer and it’ll pop right up.
