How to set game and Discord volume automatically when you play

Create a KeyRoutines routine with a Game started trigger, a Delay so the game has played some sound, and two App volume steps: one for the game, one for Discord. Each app keeps its own level, separate from the master volume.

Steps

1. 1

   Start with the game

   Add Game started and pick the game.

2. 2

   Give it a moment

   Add a Delay of about 30 seconds. Windows only has a volume slider for an app once it has played sound.

3. 3

   Set the game's level

   Add App volume for the game's program and set it, for example, to 0.6.

4. 4

   Set Discord's level

   Add App volume for Discord, for example 0.9, so voices stay clear over the game.

Tips

• App volume works like the per-app sliders in Windows' Volume mixer; your master volume isn't touched.
• If the game hasn't played sound yet, the step says so; a longer Delay fixes it.
