Windows is known for making multiple audio device management a bit of a chore. But it looks like the company is working to make this experience more manageable. The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview includes a redesigned Quick Settings volume mixer. This new interface allows you to switch between audio devices, enable spatial sound, and even adjust volume output on a per-app basis, which wasn't possible with the existing design.
Windows 11 is also getting a dedicated shortcut for easier access to this feature. You can press Windows, Ctrl, and V keys on the keyboard simultaneously to open it. We don't know yet when Microsoft plans to roll this out to regular users. But we're hoping sooner rather than later.
