Summary

This is my attempt to make an easier way to set the Windows volume for all apps to match the master volume level.

Reasoning

When some apps, like Discord, frequently attenuate the volume of other apps, the volume level of other apps doesn't always return to the original value. A common example is to trigger attenuation while using a push to talk (PTT) button, or when other people talk. After a while, some apps may have their volume level severely reduced below the master volume level. With a Python script, all apps can be brought back to match the master volume level. This can be set as a shortcut as an easy way to fix the volume levels quickly.

Setup

Install the pycaw dependency in some way.

Global:

pip install pycaw

Usage

Start with this problem:

Run this script:

python volume_to_master.py

Result:

All application volume levels should now match the master volume level in volume mixer.
