Four group sliders
Game, Chat, Media and Aux, each with its own volume and mute. A group's level applies to every app in it, including ones you open later.
Volume mixer for Windows
Control app audio by groups.
Instead of hunting through the Windows volume mixer one app at a time, assign your running apps to Game, Chat, Media and Aux, then control each group's volume and mute together. Balance game and chat with ChatMix, send each group to its own output device, and change it all from the tray or with a hotkey.
- Windows 10 and 11
- No drivers or virtual devices
- Lives in the tray

Questions
Do I need virtual audio devices or extra drivers?
No. Groupy works with Windows' own per-app audio, and per-group output devices use your existing devices.
What about apps I open later?
A group's volume and mute apply to every app assigned to it, including ones that start after you set the level.
Do the hotkeys work while I'm in a game?
Yes, they are global hotkeys. F13 to F24 work on their own; other keys need Ctrl, Alt or Shift.
What is ChatMix?
One slider that trades game volume for chat volume. Each group sits on the game side or the chat side, and moving the slider fades one side as the other gets louder.
