Volume Mixer not showing muted app

I do not have an audio problem in the context of "Audio is not playing". The problem is in the fact that Volume Mixer will not show a muted app. This issue has been around since Windows 7.

If you mute an application, it will not show up in Volume Mixer next time you start it. Is there any way I could find the settings for muted applications and change those to 'unmuted'?

 

Volume Muting Itself Once I reach level 9 and below

When I lower my volume level down, all of a sudden -- instead of playing the volume low -- in just mutes!

I can -- at that point -- press the unmute button and it will play at that lower volume.

Example: I'm playing media, I lower the volume to level 10, everything is fine. When I lower it to level 9, it mutes (showing the mute icon and playing now sound) and stays muted all the way at each step till level 0 and then will stay muted all the way up through level 9 and only make sound once it reaches level 10. At any point I can press the unmute button and it will play audio at that level.

For example, I stop at 5, and I press unmute, sound will play, but if I lower the volume to 4 it will mute again. In other words, if I'm adjusting anywhere within the range that it determines 'it's too low' it will mute. But it isn't to low though... that's the audio level I want it to play. I want it to play at level 1 or 3 or 9 most of the time, which is right where this problem is occurring. (yes I have very good hearing and often listen at volume 1).

Sometimes the point in which it decides to mute is level 9 sometimes is 5, it varies around 2-9.

 

Volume Mixer not showing muted app

The application was muted on Windows 10 with November update. Now I am using Anniversary update, on build 14393.10

The initial step did not help make Banished show up in the Volume Mixer, nor did the article.
