My Question or Issue

For the past month, whenever I switch to my Spotify window, the system instantly goes up to 67% volume, every time. However, when switching back to Firefox for example, the volume returns to the original level I had set. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, using the troubleshooting options, and changing audio settings, but alas the problem still persists. I can't find anyone else with this problem, so any help is appreciated! Thank you 🙂

Hi there!

Is it the system volume or only the Spotify volume that jumps?

It seems to be the system volume, as the Spotify volume bar doesn't change.
Even if I have a YouTube video going and then tab over to Spotify the
volume shoots up to 67% lol

Okay, thanks. I don't think I've seen this before.

First, can you try resetting your audio mixer?

In Windows 10/11:

Right-click on the sound icon in your taskbar and select sound settings.

Scroll down to the Volume Mixer option.

On the Volume Mixer page, click the Reset button at the bottom.

Then restart Spotify by going to File > Exit

Let me know if that helps!

this also happen in my computer. I set my volume to 28% (for example) and when I select the spotify App, my volume goes to 50%.

Another example: If I put volume to 80%, when I choose the spotify again, my volume goes again to 50%

I've tried the solutions presented on here so far and I'm still having the exact same issue. Has there been any progress on fixing this? It's a pain when the volume shoots up when I switch to the spotify window.

Disable these two settings. They allow applications, such as Spotify or Discord, to have exclusive access to your playback device's volume level and other settings.

Disable these two settings.

It allow applications, such as Spotify or Discord, to have exclusive access to your playback device's volume level and other settings.

On your keyboard, press Win+ R (Windows Run Dialog)
Paste or type the following in the textbox:

mmsys.cpl

Double click your Playback Device.
Go-to the 'Advanced' tab.
Uncheck both boxes, to Disable these settings:

Exclusive Mode ☑ Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device ☑ Give exclusive mode applications priority

Your settings should look like this:

Exclusive Mode ☐ Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device ☐ Give exclusive mode applications priority

Click 'Apply' and 'OK' and you may close the Audio Devices window.

Done.

Tried the latest solutions, but still having the same issue. I just can't wrap my head around why these solutions aren't working 😞
